It’s Heavy: sica-yah can you call fany and see if she’s alright? Seob’s really worried coz apparently, that small perv of an alien went to LA and i quote seob “with an animalistic cheshire smirk” on her face.

Girl On Crack: pfft.. HAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂

The Missing Pussy: what are u laughin about… -.- okay Sun! Easy pea!

Girl On Crack: ur nickname HAHAHAHAHAHA

The Missing Pussy REMOVED Girl On Crack FROM THE GROUP

Mighty Mouth: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO UNNIE THAT’S THE THIRD ONE TO GET KICKED!

The crowd went wild and she saw her girlfriend laughing. Her maknae’s face can be seen stunned at first and then she decided to change the topic.

Her smirk stopped when the livestream was cut.

What the actual fuck? Just when things are starting to get heated…

Her other hand immediately fished out her phone from her back pocket and sends a message to her dear live streamer.

Why did you stop the stream?

It didn’t take long until her phone beeped.

Unnie I’m trying to stop a possible world war ll. Besides, my phone is nearly lowbat. I’m using my personal phone for texting you by the way. Anyways, I miss you. I will visit next year when I’m free with schedules. Love you unnie 💕

Ps. Don’t get mad. She’s doing it for entertainment. You know how much she missed you.

She chuckled at her cute little sister. After typing up her response, she sent it.

Aww my poor Yoongie, it’s okay, I understand. Please do tell Yuri and Juhyun that I said Hi 🙂 I miss you too and you’re free to visit anytime. Loveee you 💕😘

Ps. I’ve changed. I’m not immature anymore but I think a little fun is not bad. 😏🙈🙊

Another beep and she reads the message.

Aigoo, our poor leader unnie. Hahaha! I’ll tell Yul unnie and Seob! I really wanted to chat with you right now unnie but the guard is glaring at me. Text you later 😘

Ps. Don’t be too hard on her 🙂

Byebye Fany—unniiieeee 💕

She laughed at the ps part of her dongsaeng’s message.

Alright 🙂 Have fun in the concert you rascal 😘 Text you laterr 💕

Ps. I can’t promise you that *winks

After making sure that it was sent, she lied down on her bed and laughed at her devilish plan that was specially created for her one and only kid leader before closing her eyes and drifted off to sleep again.

———

The continuous vibration from her phone woke her up. Blinded by the sunlight that travels from the part where the curtain was pushed aside, she groaned.

She stretched, rolled on her fluffy bed and smiled as widest as she can.

She ignored the vibrating phone after seeing the caller’s name. Jumping off the bed, she runs and walks her way to the bathroom and does her business.

Let’s see how far can you go with that ‘I am not that desperate’ shit that you’ve created.

After some minutes, she went out of the bathroom with a refreshed look and a smirk on her lips.

“Merry Christmas my dear kids.”

She lifted the two white ball of fur one at a time and gave them kisses. After giving them their food, she got her phone and saw that she has 90 messages and 35 missed calls.

It was mostly greetings from her relatives in LA but almost 75 percent of the messages came from Taeyeon and the 35 missed calls came from her too.

So much for not being desperate huh?

Not wanting to be rude, she texted back all her relatives the greetings that they deserved. About how much she thanked them for being supportive as always.

The evil and the angel in her mind is fighting on whether to respond to her beloved girlfriend or not. But after weighing her options, it’s unfair if she won’t send a message to Taeyeon because all of her members got greetings from her.

Merry Christmas 🎄 I’m a little busy with moving and family reunion so I’m afraid I can’t respond to your messages asap.

She sent it without any sweet message or any smileys in it. Unlike the text that she sent to her members.

She was about to get out of her room when her phone lits up again.

From Taetae

Are we okay? Merry Christmas Fany. I miss you and I love you 😘

To Taetae

We are okay. I need to go. Merry Christmas again.

Tiffany walked her way to their kitchen to eat a light breakfast before facing the war later in the party that will happen in her new house.

She heard her phone beeped again.

From Taetae

Whatever it is that annoyed you, I’m so sorry Fany-ah… I love you so damn much. Please remember that. Have fun in your reunion 😘

It took all her muscles to stop her from replying asap and just drop the little game that she started. But in the end, the devil won. She ignored the message.

———

“MERRY CHRISTMAS TAENGOO UNNIIEEE!” Seohyun greeted her right after her hand pulls the door handle. She offered a small smile and greeted their youngest member back.

“Get in Juhyun-ah”

“Er, are you okay unnie?” Seohyun asked after sitting down on their sofa. “Merry christmas zero and ginger!”

“I don’t know. Am I okay?” Taeyeon asks herself too.

Seohyun looked at her gloomy unnie before giving her a hug. “Is it Fany-unnie?”

Taeyeon sighs. She slumped down on the sofa and looked at Seohyun, “I don’t know what happened but I think she’s mad at me.”

Seohyun stands up and drag her unnie in the kitchen, “Let’s not be gloomy at Christmas day unnie. Think of that later, right now I’m hungry.”

“You’re hanging out too much with your Yoona and Sooyoung unnie,” Taeyeon lets herself get dragged by the youngest while shaking her head.

“Shut it unnie I’m hungry.”

———

“When will you stop ignoring your girlfriend unnie?”

“Krystine I’m not ignoring her okay, It’s my first Christmas with the family after so many years so I’m gonna focus here first okay?” Tiffany walks in her kitchen to get the drinks that her cousins needed. Her cousin tailing at her back.

“Yeah like I would believe that. She just messaged me to check if you’re fine and asked me to look after you. Isn’t she sweet?” Her cousin looked at her dreamily.

“Drop it Krys. Just let her bug you or block her if you want. I’ll talk to her after this.” Tiffany said as she walks out of the kitchen.

Her steps were halted when Debbie popped out of nowhere with her phone in her hand.

“Unnie Taeyeon unnie asked if you’re alright. And she said she misses you.” Debbie said then bite at her watermelon slice.

“Ugh not you too.” The older girl walked out of the room leaving the two girls looking at each other.

“Uh, did I said something wrong?” Debbie asked.

“Nope. Let’s go have fun outside?”

“O-kay? You guys are weird by the way.”

“It runs in the family dumbo.”

———

Taeyeon posted a greeting in her instagram together with Seohyun. After it was posted, she accidentally clicked the tagged posts. Oops? It was a restricted place for them. Since those tagged photos means danger, they try their best to stop looking at that tab. She was about to click the home button when her eyes caught something interesting enough for her to click it open.

TAE: I am not that desperate.

Under the caption above the pic was Tiffany’s not so amused face.

Upon realising the possible reason for her girlfriend’s behavior, she smacked her forehead before turning to look at her dongsaeng.

“Juhyun-ah did you see Yoona or Yuri doing a livestream during my last concert?” Please say no.. Please…

“I’m not sure unnie, I ran down the backstage after some time so I haven’t really saw it.” Juhyun answered as she kept watching Home Alone.

I hope they didn’t…

“I saw Yoona unnie doing one when it’s your duet with Juhyun unnie. But it was cut before your Merry Christmas stage,” out of nowhere here youngest sibling said that shocked Taeyeon out.

“Jesus Hayeon! Where did you came from?”

“Uh, probably where you also came from? You know? Umma’s v—”

“Jesus s-stop!”

“I know it’s an honor to be called like that but unnie I’m not Jesus. Did you hit your head somewhere?” Hayeon tilted her head to the side before walking her way to the couch with an ice cream bowl in hand.

“Ugh.. Are you sure it’s a livestream?”

“Yep. Hundred percent sure.” Hayeon answered after getting a spoon of ice cream in her mouth.

Fuck… I’m dead…

“Oh shit.”

Taeyeon glared at her sister for the last word. “Watch your mouth young lady.”

“Unnie I didn’t know Fany-unnie is this hot. I mean all those damn curves. Dang american woman you got there,” her sister whistled while her eyes was staring at her phone.

“Did you just say something inappropriate to my woman Kim Hayeon?” she stood up walking slowly to her sister.

Seohyun shrugged her shoulders at the siblings’ talk. Home Alone is much fun than the scene beside her.

“I think I did. Look.” Hayeon gave her phone to her unnie. “I’m saying the truth you know.”

Fuck..

“Why did she send it to you?” Taeyeon glared at her sister.

Hayeon shrugs and continues eating her ice cream.

Beep beep

From Fany-unnie

Since you asked me to look out for her, there she is. She’ll kill me for using her phone but I know she’ll forgive me. Have a Merry Christmas Taeyeon unnie 🙈

—Krys

Damn she’s definitely drunk for sending it to Hayeon instead of me… I hope she didn’t send it to someone else…. Argh!

Okay i get it. Now, get out of our room and lock the door. Sleep in the guest room. Thanks for looking out for her.

From Fany💕

No worries unnie. Byebye 🤘

Taeyeon decided to stop replying and then she decided to call someone.

———

The family reunion went out well. There’s a lot of games for the kids during the afternoon and some games for the adults during the evening too. One by one, Tiffany’s family members started to bid their goodbyes.

Kristine was left alone since she’ll be staying for the night. They drank a lot of alcohol which made them tipsy.

After making sure that the doors were properly locked, They proceed in Tiffany’s bedroom.

“Unnie, spill the tea.”

“There’s no tea.”

“Oh come on, you know what I mean.”

“Why are you so persistent?” Tiffany grunted.

Kristine grins, “Because I’m a shipper.”

Tiffany gave her a ‘what the fuq’ look before giving her the phone. “Watch the video and you’ll know. Get out of my room after watching, I’m gonna sleep.”

…

…

…

…

“You’re so immature unnie. You know it’s for the entertainment right?”

“I’m having my entertainment too. That’s not immature. Get out.”

“Wanna make her change that statement fast?”

That caught Tiffany’s attention, “I thought you said ‘it’s immature’?”

“Oh just shut up, you know you miss her too,” the cousin moved closer and stripped her top.”

Tiffany grabs her phone from her cousin, “YOU SHIT! YOU SENT THE PICTURE TO HAYEON!!”

“W-what?”

“Ugh Krys!”

The cousin snatched the phone from her drama queen of a cousin thats currently lying on her bed with her eyes closed. She typed another message to Hayeon to clear the misunderstanding. “Unnie strip your skirt.”

“What now woman?”

“Come on just do what I say, besides you always sleep naked so don’t complain.”

“Not when you’re here.”

“Argh!” In a split of second, her skirt was discarded from her body.

Tiffany tried her best to cover everything since her devil of a cousin is seriously being a drunk bitch right now.

Click

“KRISITNE!!!”

“You guys are too boring,” she threw the phone away. “I’m sleeping at the guest room unnie, goodnight. Have a good fuck this week!”

Tiffany just smacked her forehead when she saw the messages. I’m in big trouble aren’t I? Goodluck my precious legs, have fun while I can still feel you.

….

…

..

.

A day has passed. Taeyeon haven’t responded to her messages. It worries her so she texted all her members if they know where the hell is their leader.

The only one who responded with valuable information was their youngest with, “UNNIE CODE RED!”

And that’s the time that she realised the fact that she’s definitely doomed for doing that stunt.

Byebye my precious legs. You will be missed.

A ring from her doorbell woke her up from her trance. Kristine you are so dead when we see each other again.

Her lungs almost gave up on having oxygen when she saw who was at her door, “T-tae I can explain…”

“You will feel how I, Kim Taeyeon, is soo desperate to be with you right now Stephanie Young.”

“It’s Kr—”

“You. Me. Bedroom. Now.”

———

HAPPY NEW YEAR KIDSSSS

RIP JONGHYUN MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

ANYWAY, HERE’S A NEW YEAR ONE SHOT FOR Y’ALL. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. 🤘

I am walking down the stairs when I saw my sisters in the kitchen with unnie preparing our breakfast and Irene looking stupid sitting on the table while fighting her sleepiness away. Why did she get down this early in the first place? Stupid kid. A drool forming on the side of her mouth. Yuck! I stand beside unnie and give her a morning kiss as she flips the pancake on the plate in her hands. Wow daebak! It was our daily routine. Walking slowly and silently at our youngest, I wake her up. The usual way.

“Boo!” Shouting my lungs out near her ear, Irene got shocked and fell off from the chair with her drool in sight. I can’t stop myself from laughing.

Irene got up and runs into me tackling me down on the floor as her hands automatically grip my blonde locks and stretched it in different places away from my head, “WHEN WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!!!” She exclaimed in the most frustated way that she can.

I grunt in pain. The laugh in my face slowly changes into a hurtful expression. When did this kid got strong?! We continue fighting even though our unnie is cooking in the same room. Normally, she will stop the both of us and lecture us a book worth of dos and don’ts but now, there’s none. She doesn’t care about us anymore? Thinking about that made me sad and tears suddenly pool in the corner of my eyes. Don’t cry. You’re not a baby anymore! My mind chanted as I tried my best to remove my sister’s hands from my hair. “Yah Irene-ah! I’m sorry! Unnie is sorry okay! Hands off!”

“No! You always say that!”

I managed to pry her hands off of my hair but her knee accidentally hit me right through my balls. Yeah. There’s a wood here. A massive destruction for bitches out there. “UNNIE!!!” I cried out loud as the dam finally breaks. I pushed Irene from me and hold my groin part as I curled myself trying to lessen the pain. “IT HURTS! UNNIE!!” I looked like a crybaby complete with liquified mucus running down my nose forming number 11 but I don’t care. It really hurts. I don’t know what to do.

“UNNIE!!” I looked at my back and saw Irene crying too.

What an actress! I should be the only one crying here! I raised my voice competing with her. The pain on my groin lessens big time but still, I wont let Irene beat me. “UNNIE!!!” I cried louder.

“UNNIE!!!”

“UNNIE!!!!”

Our cries got louder and louder ’til it turns into shouting with dried tears on my face. I heard the click of the stove which means unnie is done with the food. I glared at Irene. Wait here you bitch! You’ll be- a hard object smacked on my head making me shocked, “U-unnie… she kicked my balls why are you hitting me?!” I asked loudly and another smack landed on my head with Unnie’s eyes glraing at me coldly. Unfair! I was sulking hard when Irene smirked and grins at me.

“Why are you grining?” A smack lands on Irene’s head and I laughed t her.

“Unnie! Taengoo started it!”

Another smack lands on her head.

“What did I tell you two? Stop acting like a kid for Pete’s sake! You’re both 16 Jesus Christ!” Unnie shouted at us while holding a clean spatula and her other hand on her waist. She looks scarier than our Mom to be honest!

I looked down and I believe Irene did too. No one wants to see our eldest sister’s satan mode. That’s too much for us.

“Now say sorry to each other,” she said in her obey-me-or-you’re-dead tone.

“Sorry.” We both said at the same time though I know that Irene doesn’t mean it. Ha! You can’t fool me bitch! Sorry my ass!

“Be sincere!”

“S-Sorry..”

What a scary woman we have here….

“Now hug.”

We both hug whispering to each other that we should not get our unnie angry anymore. There was a pregnant silence. I was about to stand up when I felt something wet on my knees. “Irene wait…” I tried moving away from her but she wouldn’t let go, “Hey let go.”

“T-taengoo… I peed,” she whispered then hide her face on my shoulders. What the actual fuck?

I only realized that Unnie’s not close to us and is currently preparing the table when I looked around. “Let go!” I whispered back.

“N-no. It’s embarrassing…” What should I do with you kid…

“Let go!” I said little louder which caught our sister’s attention.

“Are you two fighting again?”

We both freeze. The stern voice of Unnie is sure scary. “N-no Unnie,” I heard Irene said although I can hear the shaking of her voice.

There was a sudden heat soaking my pants. When I looked down, Irene was not the only one soaked for I have peed to. There goes my embarrassing early teenage life.

___

I reminisced about the past. I’m 18 now and still, I don’t know how adult things works. Asking my sister would be good, I don’t really feel ashamed with my sister, but she’s always busy with work. A fashion brand that my mom started and now Unnie’s the one managing together with her bestfriend slash girlfriend, Jessica. Jessica unnie is nice to both Irene and I, she treats us foods when we’re younger up until now. Bringing us to places and amusement parks, of course with my Unnie.

Unnie isn’t that strict to us now that we’re at the legal age bracket. She lets us date but we must bring the person home first. A long talk and interrogation before our prospects can date us. Pretty strict right? Her protection is the best, that’s why we love her so much. She’s a better mother to us than our own mother who’s barely home. Going back from places to places, country to another country, I don’t know what she wants. Our business here in Korea alone can support up until my grandchildren’s whole life but she decided to reside in America for her growing business.

So yeah, I would like to ask someone how to relax myself. I don’t have an idea how to. I once heard my classmates talking about how good it felt when they reach their release. They even talked about who’s longer, who’s bigger or who released better. A question suddenly pops inside my mind that time, Why isn’t my taetae the same? Why can’t I feel what they felt? Is taetae not functioning well? It gets bigger in size but aside from that, nothing new really happens. I was so close to get inside the clinic to ask the doctor about my condition but I’m embarrassed. I wanna feel what they experience too but It just wont happen to me. I tried watching adult videos but nothing, taetae doesn’t react. I’ll make sure to ask Unnie about this matter. I’m sure she can help.

“God! I managed to have a quick jerk in the bathroom and it feels great!” I heard one of my classmates whispered to his friends on my back.

“It really helps to relieve stress from school! I always do it before I sleep and I always feel refreshed when I woke up!”

“Aww man, I jerk mine while watching porn,” they all laughed.

I am envious of them. I want to release my stress too but taetae doesn’t cooperate. Taetae-ah are you dead? Why don’t you be like the normal ones? I hope you’ll wake up soon.

The bell rings so I stood up and walks inside the cafeteria. A hand makes its way around my shoulder. It startled me.

“You’re just older by 20 minutes, don’t flatter your I am older than you title too much,” my sister said and flicked my forehead after saying, “The last one to get there will pay for our foods!” Then she runs her way to the cafeteria leaving me at the hallway.

That cheating monkey!

When I got there, she was already ordering her food while smirking at me. I don’t really mind. It’s Unnie’s money not mine. Ha!

We ate. We bickered. We ate. It’s a cycle but still, I love both of my sisters. Even if Irene is super annoying, she’s still my sister that I need to protect and cherish.

Class ended faster than expected, I’ve waited for Irene at the gate so we can go home together. When I saw her, she was with a friend that I think I’ve seen before.

“Taengoo!” Her hands waved and when she reached me, a hug was automatically given. It was our sisters’ thing. If not a hug, it’s a kiss. “This is Seulgi, the one I’m doing a project with.”

“Hello Taeyeon unnie,” Seulgi said as she bows.

“Hello nice to meet you,” I said. “Let’s go now?”

“Hm, We’ll finish our project at her place so I think you’ll go home alone today,” Irene said. It was fine for me after making sure that Unnie knows about it through a message because we don’t wanted her to be worried anymore.

“Take care you two!” I waved at them before entering the car. I have a license now so I don’t need a driver anymore. Hitting the pedal, I’m ready to go home.

It was quiet when I got home. It’s still early so I believe Unnie’s not yet here. She usually gets home after five and it’s just three fourteen at the moment. I run upstairs to my room and changed into a comfortable clothes. A loose shorts, a loose white shirt and just a normal briefs without the compressor. I’m not a fan of wearing one cause it’s uncomfortable to wear. And since we’re the only ones here, I don’t really care. And they also don’t care since they both know my condition.

I’m about to go downstairs to get something to drink and watch my favorite series when I heard a groan. It’s like someone’s in pain and the matter of fact that the voice belongs to my Unnie made me walks closer to her room. I get the umbrella near Irene’s door just incase there was an intruder. Checking the doorknob, I sighed in relief when it’s not locked. Opening it slowly, my hand was holding the umbrella as tight as I could and was ready to attack anyone that’s not my Unnie when I got the full view of what’s happening inside.

My jaw dropped. I got stucked in my place. I wanted to run away from her room but it’s like my feet was rooted on the ground. Holy mother of sexy cows…

“Oh… Jessi don’t leave a mark,” Unnie said and I’ve heard it clearly. I am not supposed to watch two gorgeous woman making out live but even my eyelids wont cooperate with me.

Jessica unnie was on top of my sister. She’s on her pants and bra and I believe my sister was topless because I can see her boobs in full view. Erected pinkish nipples, eyes half closed, mouth gasping for air. This is the first time that I’ve seen that facial expresson from my sister’s face. Will it be bad if I think it was totally hot? Suddenly I feel high, I don’t know what is this but this is something new. I can feel the heat radiating through my body, wanting to explode, wanting to melt anything that will comes close.

I assumed that the unnies doesn’t recognize my appearance yet because Jessica unnie moved lower as she engulf my sister’s erected nub. It was like the scenes from the adult movies that I’ve watched with the obvious difference that this one is a live action.

“Oh shit Jess! It hurts!” I heard Unnie screamed and that send a tingling sensation on my lower abdomen. That was like a scream saying It fucking hurts but don’t stop! andmy first time hearing it from Unnie’s mouth. Sexy!

From the looks of it, I am a hundred percent sure that she bit my unnie’s nubs. Thinking about that certain scene doubled the heat from my body. It was almost unbearable for me that I can almost feel my eyeballs rolling in the back of my head. And it did. I can’t feel about anything anymore. All in my mind was the replay of Jessica unnie and my sister’s reaction in repeat.

I didn’t know what happened next but I was awakened by a scream that I believe was Jessica unnie’s, “AH! STEPH! YOU SAID WE’RE ALONE HERE!”

When I looked at them, Jessica unnie was trying to wear her top as fast as she could, and my sister looking dumbfounded at me with the cover hidding her assets. Oh wait. She’s not looking at me?

I was standing near the door. My body doesn’t cooperate. I tried to run away but looks like I can’t control even my muscles.

Great. First is Taetae, now my whole being. Life is good peasants.

I tried following her line of vision and what I saw made me feel a lot of emotions. Suddenly, I can feel something. I don’t know if I should be happy or embarrassed. Taetae is alive. And he’s creating a huge bump in my shorts. There’s even a darker spot near it. God. Did I pee again?!

I was so shocked to react with Taetae’s sudden movement when I mysteriously heard Irene’s voice singing Sam Smith’s song…

A cold stare. A volcano that’s ready to explode any moment from now. Taeyeon was in the pit of beating the shit out of the man in front of her. His smirking face didn’t help to calm her down. “Why are you smirking? You just shocked the shit out of us! Do you think it’s funny?! We we’re so worried about the kid! Specially Tippani! You don’t know how stressed and depressed was she when that kid disappear!”

Silence.

“Mo-mommy was worried for me?” A lone tear fell down from the kid’s face then a little smile appears.

“Excuse me? Mommy? As far as I know, my crush is perfectly single and is ready to mingle to me and ONLY me. So cut this crap and go find another mother.” Taeyeon said coldly.

“I can call her whatever I want. You call her your crush and I did not say anything,” the kid counters.

“Why you!”

The man who was the reason of her misery speaks, “Are you seriously talking like that with a kid?”

“Are you seriously talking to me? You son of an impostor-“

“Okay. Okay. Sorry! I was just running away from someone because I stole the most valuable thing for him. I didn’t intend to scare you or anybody okay? I was just about to chat with this kid but when we came back, we can’t find you so I’ve researche-“

“You know how to use a computer?!” Taeyeon huffs. “I can’t believe it.”

“It doesn’t matter to me if you’ll believe it or not. We all have our own mind so go ahead. Back in the story, I’ve researched and found out that you guys are trying to solve a crime and is looking for miss Suzy.” The man sat down on the chair and puts his chin above his knuckles.

“You know her?”

“Nope. But her picture were posted in news so I recognized her face the moment I saw her. And as a form of sorry for what I did to you and your woman, I brought her with me.” The guy claps three times and a gorgeous lady came out from the kitchen part of the restaurant.

“Hello Taeyeon unnie. I am Bae Suzy. I saw you when I talked with Tiffany unnie the last time we met. I am willing to help you to free Yoona unnie. Just ask me whatever you need to know and I’ll give you the best explanation that I can give.” Suzy bows 90 degrees and smiled at her.

She was pretty. Minus the pale color of her skin and some scratches on some parts of her body. The saying is true, souls that haven’t reached their right place yet use the clothes that they wore before they died. Nonetheless, she was still decent than most of the living girls out there.

Taeyeon was shocked to finally see their key to solve the problem. A smile slowly reached her face. “Thank you Ms. Bae. I’m sure Tippani will be happy about the news,” she then looked at the man’s face. His toothy grin on display silently implying that he knows that he’s awesome. “I don’t know. You’ve helped us but that doesn’t mean that you are forgiven yet, so what did you stole, who’s looking after you and why are you dressed like that?”

The guy scratched his face, “First all, my name is Kibum. Key for short. And about that… hmmm… I was so bored up there doing the same shits everyday. I mean like every single day! So I decided to be a little sneaky and steal the reaper’s things and run away before I got here. See this suit? It’s pretty cool right? And the hat is awesome! I’ve wanted to look like this when I’m still alive though we can’t afford it. So now, I’m living my dream but I heard that a jealous fucker told Mr. Reaper that I stole some of his things. So yeah, he’s out there to get my head now and I’m trying my best not to get caught. Isn’t my life amazing?”

“Funny. So kid, why are you calling my crush your Mommy?” Taeyeon raised her left eyebrow.

“Why are you calling her your crush then?” The kid answered back. “Being so brave when she’s not here eh?”

Taeyeon was out of words. She can’t think of anything to say. Her face turned red. This kid!

There was a cold staring battle between the kid and Taeyeon. Eyes glaring at each other. Brows furrowed. Hard breathings can be heard. No one’s giving up.

“Ehem,” Key breaks his silence. “Don’t you think we have important things to do than your immature staring battle?”

“THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER!” Both of them shouted at him.

“Okay. Okay. But don’t you think finding the reason of your argument is more important?” He carefully said, afraid that he’ll face the wrath of Taeyeon and the kid again. Seeing that the two became silent, he speaks again. “So, why don’t you tell us your name first? Like she’s Suzy and here’s Taeyeon. Isn’t it easier that way?” He asked the kid.

“That’s none of your business.”

Bitch kid. Taeyeon thought.

“Pretend I didn’t ask,” the man said.

“Can we find someone who can talk to us first? I am already staying here for long and I’m sure that someone is already sent to find me.” Suzy speaks and they all look at her.

Sirens filled the bridge area where the car fell. The divers already swam down the lake to find them. There are also police officers that were scattered around the area. Ten guys were caught, unfortunately, Lee MinHo isn’t one of them. He managed to escape the cops with one of his right hand man Choi MinHo.

Thirty minutes passed and a group of men comes out from the water. “Medic! Medic! Fast!” They all shouted as they lay down the lifeless body of two women on the ground. “Faster! Their pulse rates are dropping!” Two rescuers tried to give a cpr as a form of first aid but it’s not enough.

“Move! Move!” Three men and a woman in a suit with a cross sign cleared the way and immediately do their thing. “God… Hang in there Tiff… Let’s go!” The woman shouted and the ambulance starts to move.

It’s dawn so the traffic was not a problem. They’ve reached the hospital in no time. “This is an emergency! Out of the way!” The woman from the team shouted. Her voice cracking a little. The people at the aile gave way as they rush the two woman inside the emergency room.

“Please stay here ma’am, you are not allowed to enter the emergency room.” A nurse told her before the door shuts close and the light above the room turns on.

Her legs gave up. Suddenly feeling the tiredness of being a volunteer. She folded her legs and laid down her head on her knees, not caring about her colleagues that were looking at her. Keep her safe please…

After a minute of calming her adrenaline rush, she finally stood up. “Call their relatives. Tell them the bad news and make sure they’re coming here. I need to do something important.”

“Where are you going? It’s not your end of shift yet!” One man from the team tried to stop her but she doesn’t care anymore. “You can get fired! Yah!”

“I don’t care! Just do what I told you to do!” That’s what she says before running outside the hospital.

“Ah really… she always do what she wants…” the man exclaimed.

“Perks of being the rich man’s daughter,” another guy answered. “Stay here. I need to make a phonecall.”

“Aish… Stubborn woman… Hm. But it’s the first time that I’ve seen her like that. Lover’s Quarrel perhaps? Yeah right, perks of being the rich man’s daughter.”

“Stop moving around Joohyun-ah, you’re making me dizzy. I’m sure Fany unnie’s fine. She’s a strong and cool woman. Don’t think too much.” Yoona tries to calm the young lawyer down by lightly pushing her down on the sofa. They’ve been anxious since the message arrived.

The young lawyer sat on the sofa but her body wasn’t stopping from moving. Phone in hand. Prayers in mind.

*clang!*

They both shouted in unison when a spoon from the kitchen hits the floor and breaks their silence. Joohyun runs to fix the utensil. When she’s getting back, her eyes caught some shadow but she can’t figure out what was it. “Did you let someone enter?”

“Okay,” Yoona said as she opened the television, the midnight show is playing.

Silence.

“I told you to be careful! Ugh guys! Really!” The midget hits her forehead in stress.

“Sorry…” the guy stated and bovs down.

“Your sorry won’t change anything so don’t bother.”

“Uhm, Miss Taeyeon, where is your crush? From the looks of it, those two are alone here.” Suzy asked.

Taeyeon thinks. The last time she saw her was earlier when they were inside Tiffany’s car with Yuri. Remembering the cop’s moves makes her irritated.

“Probably on a date with a serious lover. How sweet.” The kid said making the midget sulk more.

Key takes the kid with him dragging her away from the murderous looking Taeyeon. “You should really know when to shut up kiddo.” He whispered while looking at the midget that is currently thinking of ways to torture a certain charcoal with some bits of a satanic kid.

*ring ring ring*

“Hello?” Joohyun answered her phone as fast as she could. She didn’t even bother checking the name of the caller. The nervousness that she felt earlier never leave her body. “Hello?”

Yoona can only see her lawyer’s reaction. She lowers the volume of the television. The phonecall wasn’t set in loudspeaker mode so she can’t really hear what they are talking about.

Joohyun nods, “Yes I’m Joohyun Hwang. May I know who’s this?”

Yoona saw how her facial expression changed from clueless into a shocked one. “WHAT?! Where again? Stay there, I’m coming!” Like a thunderbolt, the lawyer jumps off from the sofa and runs inside her room. Even though the four unwanted visitors can’t be touched by them, they gaveway afraid of the sudden ruish. In less than a minute, she was already in her coat and keys in her hand.

“W-what’s happening?”

“Unnie got into an accident. Let’s go.”

“I’ll drive. You can’t drive in that state.” Yoona snatched the keys and drag the lawyer outside not forgetting to lock the door.

“Ppani…”

“Your tears won’t bring the woman back here so cut the crap and let’s go!” Key shouted and pushes them outside to run after the two girls that was about to enter the car. “Fast! We don’t know where your woman is, so don’t be stupid to let them leave us all here. Run! Run!”

—-

There was a screeching sound. The engine of the car wasn’t off yet when Joohyun almost jump and runs inside the hospital. Yoona locks the door and runs after the lawyer. The four extra passengers slowly went out.

“Urgh!”

“That’s a long ass ride~” Key sang his favorite lyrics of a song while trying to help the poor Suzy. “You okay?”

They walked and walked and see some souls roaming around. Some were kids, some were oldies but most of them are their age. The wild age bracket. Losing the kid in sight, they decided to look over the nurse station’s logs.

Hopeless. There’s a bunch of files on the desk and a nurse is busily scribling something on some papers. A single movement wont be seen by her but that’s a problem. Taeyeon can’t hold anything anymore. It’s been so long before she had some nice moments with her crush that the charge she had has run out.

“It’s okay. We can check the rooms one by on-” Key was cut.

“Taeyeon?”

That voice! Taeyeon immediately looks at her back “P-ppani…” a huge smile appeared on the smaller girl’s face. But that joy was cut when she was dragged behind her favorite lawyer’s back together with Suzy. She held me?! I…I thought I’m not capable anymore… Oh yeah she’s my charger!

“I won’t let you get them under my watch! Not again!” Her voice loud. Losing the kid was enough. I will not let him drag my friends anymore…

“Uhmm… I’m not here to-“

“Tiffany unnie!” A loud shout from the back cut their little quarrel off. A little ball of energy comes running directly to the lawyer and engulfs her in a bone breaking hug. “I missed you!”

Tiffany returned the hug and lifted the kid while glaring at the man at her front. “Y-you’re here…” she whispered while staring at the kid’s beaming eyes, “I thought we lost you, oh God…” Her heart swells. Too much joy. She thought she lost the kid. Tears nearly escaped her lids but it stopped when the man speaks. Her arms strongly encircled around the kid that she missed so much afraid to lose her again if she weakens her hold.

“Uhm… so… I’m not here to get them,” Key rubs the back of his neck as he looked apologetically towards the glaring lawyer.

“How can I be sure?” Tiffany’s words were like ice spikes burying deep into his soul.

Taeyeon decided to cut the scary aura around them and explain everything to Tiffany. It seems that the lawyer understands but there’s still warning given to him.

I never knew souls can experience goosebumps too.. so scary! Key thought.

“Ppani I’m happy that you survived from the accident.” Taeyeon smiled. Feeling thankful that her crush is finally out of misery. Out of danger.

The kid smiled too and buried her face on the crook of Tiffany’s neck, loving the warmth that her body produces.

Tiffany looked at them. Her eyes express a lot of emotions that they cannot decode.

“I’m glad to see you Baej-Suzy,” the lawyer looks at the one they’ve been looking for and smiled warmly, “But I don’t think I’m capable of hel-“

“Ppani watch out!” Taeyeon shouted her lungs out when a crying man holding a woman’s hand in a stretcher covered with bloods together with the nurse attending her runs passed through them. She tried to drag the lawyer out from the way but there’s no time.

The stretcher runs through them without difficulties. And what shocked them more was when it passes through Tiffany’s body.

“Y-yyou…” Taeyeon doesn’t know if a soul can cry but she felt a lone tear fell from her eye.

“Unnie…” Suzy has her worried eyes too. While the kid continues to hug her like her soul depends on it.

Tiffany sadly smiled at them, “Uhm, yeah.. I can’t help them now since I’m just like all of you now.”

Two men wearing police suit, stand near the restaurant entrance. Another one in the rear part of it. One thing is for sure, the place is guarded by them due to the on-going murder case that happened there. The Bae Suzy Murder Case.

Yuri, even if she’s a cop, can’t really do much about it without making her license in line. They’ve been sitting inside Tiffany’s car with Yuri riding the shotgun seat and a sulking Taeyeon at the backseat.

“When will they go away?” Tiffany asked her cop friend.

“Most likely not, will they even leave this place without getting someone to take over?” Yuri answered.

Tiffany huffs. She leans in and looked near the shotgun seat’s window to take a look at the restaurant. The cop closed her eyes to sniff the intoxicating smell of the lawyer’s mixture of natural smell and perfume with her eyes closed.

sniff… sniff…

“How dare this piece of unwanted charcoal!” Taeyeon exclaimed.

Tiffany leans closer to the window and tried to maximize her vision hoping to see a kid inside, when she heard something.

sniff… sniff…

What the fudge? “Excuse me Yuri, did you just sniff my neck?”

“She did! That burnt charcoal did! I dare her to do it again and she’ll regret it!” Taeyeon burst out. Her face red.

Tiffany saw her expression.

“Hey what’s wrong? We did something more daring than sniffing,” Yuri said then wiggles her eyebrow. “Don’t make it a big deal hot ass.”

I’m not making it a big deal stupid Yuri. If you won’t stop, you’ll be in deep trouble soon. Tiffany thought as she looked sorry at her friend. She can see that the passenger at the backseat wasn’t liking any of it. Sorry Yuri-yah.

“When was the last time that you had someone touching you? Do you want me to help yo-OUCH! What the heck?!” Yuri holds her nape after the headrest of the seat bumped into her. “What was that?”

Tiffany glared at the sulking midget at the back when her friend was busy attending the source of her agony.

“She started it!” Taeyeon exclaimed. “How can she say that! I can only do that! Well, if you allow me.”

Sudden images of Sunny’s suggestion run inside the lawyer’s mind that made her cheeks look like it was punched by two bouncers. “Stop saying nonsense…” She feels hot all of a sudden.

“Nonsense? You call that nonsense and yet you are red?” Yuri said.

“Can we just forget about it and do our job here? I’ll promise to hook you up with some of my lawyers if you will just shut up now Yuri-yah. I can assure you that they have class and pretty. Oh! and they are clean unlike those sluts that you pay a fortune just to get an unsatisfying sex with. Deal?” The lawyer’s instinct kick in and Yuri can’t reject that interesting idea.

“Deal. But are you sure you don’t wanna get tou-OUCH!”

Tiffany shakes her head. She can’t blame Taeyeon for kicking her seat. That small woman already endured a lot of words for today. Her heart suddenly flutters at the thought of Taeyeon being over protective over her. But her thought was stopped when the reality slaps her hard. We can’t. She will leave me soon, I’m sure of it. I can’t let that ruin me. You are smart Tiffany. Don’t give the others the key to finally enter and destroy you.

Taeyeon looked outside. The cops are still there looking so much alive with a cup of hot something. If I will be the one to enter, they can’t possibly see me right? Taeyeon was about to get out without opening the door when a hand stopped her. Pani-ah… She saw the lawyer shook her head slightly with her eyes full of concern. She tried to get away from the grip but her crush didn’t let her escape.

I can’t manage to lose another one Taeyeon-ah… Tiffany thought and a sudden flash of images rush into her mind. She winced in pain and let go of Taeyeon’s hand to hold her head.

“Yah what’s wrong?” Yuri asked and cupped her friend’s face to see her clearly. She got worried when she saw her painful expression.

Taeyeon was stunned. She doesn’t know what happened. Her mind wanted to help Tiffany but she don’t know how to. Her heart ached seeing her crush in someone else’s arms instead of her own. Should I stop here? The passenger at the backseat sighs and went out. I need to find the kid… for Tiffany…

Minutes passed and her headache finally stopped. It was like her head was being hit with something hard on different sides. Too painful that she didn’t notice that Taeyeon wasn’t there anymore. “T–tae… no…” her eyes automatically looked at the restaurant. Her instinct says that the midget went there. Is she that stupid or something?! She knows she can’t get away from me! What if the reaper find her there? Oh God no…

“Tiffany are you ok-“

Tiffany immediately unbuckled her seatbelt and went out running to the restaurant leaving Yuri in the car.

“-ay? That was rude Miss Hwang. Aish!” Yuri run after her friend who was now trying to get inside with the two cops trying to stop her. Her vision caught the unethical act of the two guys’ hands landing somewhere that’s not even accessible for them. She hugs her friend and lifted her up to stop the contact between them. These pervert shits!

The cops were about to say something when she raised her badge and the two cops immediately bow down in shame. She was a senior after all. New recruits eh? It’s easier than I expected. She walked near the two of them without releasing her friend from her. Then she whispered at them, “If I see you two again touching somewhere inappropriate regardless of who it is, I’ll make sure you won’t manage to pursue your degree any longer.”

“Yuri I need to get inside! Please!”

“Fany-ah, listen to me. We can’t get in for now,” Yuri purposely whispered the last part. They can’t get in now but there’s still tomorrow. Never lose hope.

She dragged her friend back to the car with a little difficulty due to her limbs flying everywhere. After making sure that the lawyer is seated, she started the car and drove away from the place.

Tiffany tried opening the door of her car and jump out but Yuri is fast enough to lock the door.

“I won’t forgive you if something happens Kwon Yuri…”

“What’s going to happen is you losing your license for barging in there without any warrant if you will continue this Fany.”

Right. How can you be so careless.Please be okay Taeyeon-ah. Wait for me. Tiffany said inside her mind. She can’t calm down knowing that Taeyeon might be in danger without her.

___

A gush of cold air walks pass through the two cops near the entrance and made them shiver. Feeling the coldness enters their skin to their bones and even up to their souls. Hairs on their bodies started to stand up and they can only hug themselves to ease the coldness of the night.

Pak!

The taller man felt pain on his nape, “Yah! Why did you hit me?!”

“What are you saying?”

“Acting dumb huh? Take this!” The tall man launch his fist on the other cop’s head trying to hurt him too.

The shorter shields himself from the attacks that sent them rolling on the floor, “Yah! I didn’t hit you! Really!”

Their fist fight continue and the real culprit just stood there at the entrance of the restaurant laughing her ass out. “If I know this would happen I would’ve told Pani to wait.” She laughs out loud again and enters the place without opening the door.

“I don’t think you should be laughing right now missing soul.”

Taeyeon froze on her spot and almost wanted to teleport back to Tiffany. Uh oh…

__

Yuri halts the car. If the seat-belt wasn’t there, they would be a magical creature flying their way outside the car from the wind shield.

“Yah!” Tiffany shouted out of shock.

Yuri covers her mouth and silently told her to be silent. The car’s engine was off and they were under a huge tree that makes them invisible to someone who wouldn’t pay attention to them.

“Yuri-yah, I told you I’m don’t need your tou-” Yuri stops her again from speaking. When the cop points outside, she finally understand why they are hiding under the shade of a huge tree.

A group of men in black suit are circling around two guys who are kneeling at the middle. Their faces full of bruises and blood dripping from their heads. From the looks of it, they seem to have suffered a huge amount of torture. Huge big bikes parked at the side of the road with some of the men seated on it.

Tiffany immediately opens her camera phone and record what’s happening outside knowing that they can’t fight them if anything goes wrong. Yuri sent a message to her colleagues for help and back up.

“Zoom it,” the driver said and the lawyer immediately complied. When the camera focused on the guys, they noticed who the guy was.

“Minho…”

“I knew it! That bastard set Yoona up!” Yuri was about to go out and beat the shit out of him but Tiffany stopped her.

“We need a valid proof for that case but now we-holy shit! They saw us! Drive now!!!” The lawyer panicked when she saw the lights from the big bikes are directed to them. Oh God I didn’t plan to die like this!

Yuri hits the pedal up and drive as fast as she could in reverse motion, when she’s a little far from them, she drifted around and drove fast. The two men who were kneeling earlier were not there anymore.

“When is your back up coming?! We’ll be dead before they come to get us with their turtle-like speed!”

“Yah! Don’t insult my team! Open the GPRS of my phone and be quiet!”

Tiffany didn’t fight back anymore and do as what she said. She also fished her phone and texted the two young woman in her home.

To: Juhyun; Yoona;

Lock the door and windows. Don’t get out. Stay in one room if you can. Put my bat near you. Take care.

Juhyun-ah, I love you ❤

Sent: 08/05/2017 18:37:55

After making sure that it was sent, she dialed someone’s number. The first ring was dropped. “What the…” She dialed again and again but it was all dropped. What’s wrong with you…

She bites her thumb thinking of some ways that will get them out of the situation fast.

Her depressed state was cut when her phone rang. She checked the caller but it was her sister.

“What’s up Hyunnie-yah?”

“Unnie are you okay? We’re worried. What was that message all about?” Her sister’s tone is noticeably worried. Tiffany felt sad about it.

“It’s just a reminder Hyunnie-yah, don’t get worried okay? I’ll be back tomorrow, sleep tight hmm? I’m gonna hung-up now. I love you, bye!” Tiffany almost pressed the read button but someone bumped the side of her car. Her phone dropped and the impact managed to break a part of it. The call ended.

“Aish!!! Fany-ah are you okay?!” Yuri shouted as she tries to get the wheel on the road. The hit wasn’t that hard but the impact was huge.

“I think I am!” Tiffany answered back. She saw the big guy with his huge axe in his left muscular hand. He was about to hit again when Yuri swerves the car which made the lawyer’s head bump at her door side.

Everything’s spinning. That’s the first thing that Tiffany noticed when she managed to look outside. Her vision was kinda blur. A series of flashing lights soon reached her line of sight followed by the blaring sirens. The police.

“Finally Yuri!”

“I told you! We’re safe! WE’RE SAF-” Yuri was cut when a gunshot fires through their back tire and sends them moving from side to side until she lost control of the wheels at the middle of the bridge which made them hit the concrete barrier. Half of the car was up in the air while the other was resting on the road. A single move can make them fall at the lake with more or less 15 meters deep depth.

Tiffany was unconscious at her seat. Bloods flowing from her head down to her face. There’s no single movement coming from the lawyer. Just her shallow breathing.

On the other hand, the cop was conscious but still blur about what’s happening around her.

There was a loud sound from the rear part of their car that made it move forward sending them straight to the lake.

Both of the passengers didn’t know what happened.

A motorcycle halts in an abrupt stop in exact moment that the car fell down. “NO! Fany-ah!!!”

——-

It’s been so long.. I was super busy with school works and a program that we made as a project. But it’s fine since I am on a break now. Semester’s finished and will be back at uni in August! Hope you didn’t forget about this yet 🙂 Lemme know watcha think!

Inside the small apartment that a certain midget was currently in, Taeyeon was making a fuss about her long black hair. She is thinking of getting a haircut but her budget was fully consumed by their daily expenses like apartment rent and foods. Tiffany, her girlfriend, pays for the electricity and water bill for now.

They were having a rough month since she was suspended for a whole month without pay for being stupid thinking that it’s okay to raise her voice at her manager slash friend in a friendly way. But the CEO who was at the other side of the office unfortunately heard her. She was about to fire her but her manager friend–Sunny, managed to persuade the CEO to just give her a suspension.

The CEO complied but he puts her under a one long month suspension for behaving like that. In the end, she really reflects through it.

Her voice barely raises up even with her friends, Tiffany or even their pets. She never shouted since the day of her suspension. With this new attitude from her, her girlfriend was thinking if it’s good that Taeyeon was suspended or not. She likes this new side of Taeyeon but she feels bad for her. She loves going to her work but now, she was stucked inside their apartment. But she can’t really complain on going home with her girlfriend waiting for her with a freshly cooked food on their kitchen. More unexpected hugs. Kisses. Sweet gestures, and more. They also got a lot of time together since Taeyeon’s suspension. Cuddling everywhere. On the bed, kitchen table, living room sofa, on the carpeted floor, and even inside the bathroom that will take them hours to get out.

It was the last day of her suspension when she felt the will to have a haircut. Her hair was very long for her liking but the haircut fee is out of their budget. Another fifteen days is needed before she can get her oh-so-deserving-new-haircut.

She was thinking of the possible ways to make her hair shorter when the front door opens. Her girlfriend walks inside with her usual bubbly face.

Taeyeon gets off from the couch and then walked to where Tiffany was and gave her a small peck on the lips and a tight hug. “Why are you early?” She asked. It was still lunch time and Tiffany is supposed to get back home before dinner.

“Why? You don’t want me here Ms. Kim?” Tiffany glared at the smaller woman after removing the arms that was circling her waist. “Are you hiding something from me?” The woman roamed around their home to look around.

Taeyeon was lost. She was just asking because her girlfriend usually comes home at evening but the latter took it the wrong way. All she wants now is to have some quality time with Tiffany before she gets busy with work again tomorrow and of course, her so-called haircut. A new hair style. A new life.

Tiffany finally settles down on their sofa and throws a glare at the poor woman. “Don’t you dare cheat on me Kim,” she stated with her coldest tone possible.

“I’m lost Fany. Of course I won’t do that. You have the most perfect possession that I love,” Taeyeon grins.

“Then why do you seem so shocked when I get home by surprise? And please stop thinking inappropriate things this early.”

Taeyeon walks her way on the couch and sat beside her moody girlfriend before hugging her from the side. “Because you usually gets home by evening. Wait, are you suspended too by any chance?” Taeyeon raises her head from lying on the latter’s shoulder and looked at her directly in the eyes.

Tiffany playfully smacked her forehead. Her moody rage earlier long forgotten. “No, silly. It was your last day of suspension and our shop doesn’t have that much customer. Our head stylist lets us go home early for today. So I was planning to waste my day with you but it looks like that you don’t want me here.”

“You do not know how much I wanted you to be here Fany. Stop sulking now please? For Taetae? Hm?” Taeyeon persuaded. “Oh, and since you told me about your head stylist allowing you guys to go home, is Yuri available? I wanna get a haircut. My hair looks long.”

“Yuri has a date with her girlfriends so I think she’s not available. Yoona is going somewhere with Seobb. Why suddenly want to cut your hair? It looks fine and… hot,” Tiffany bites her lower lip and looks at Taeyeon.

Taeyeon grins, “I want a new start when I get back to work tomorrow. Can you do it then? We have low budget. Can’t afford to pay a hair dresser.”

“Why not wait ’til my salary? It’s in few days. And Tae, I’m a designer, not a hair stylist. I style the whole attire. Not the hair.” Tiffany said.

“I need to have it now so when I go to work tomorrow, I have it done already. You understand me right?”

“Hm, let’s watch a tutorial first then. I may have seen how Yuri and Yoona do it but I’m not sure that I can make wonders like them. You will trust your hair with me? Are you sure?” Tiffany asked just to be sure.

“I trust you with all my heart Fany. And I know that you won’t let me down because you love me too,” Taeyeon smiled.

“Okay then. But first, let’s eat,” the designer stands up and drag her small and cute girlfriend together with her.

“Let’s”

—

After an hour, Taeyeon took a shower so her hair was already soaked and it will just need a little drying then go directly to cutting and styling. Tiffany was with her pink laptop, watching some tecniques on cutting a hair. It looks easy when she watched it. The same feeling when she’s looking at how the twins, Yuri and Yoona, do the job. It looks effortless.

Finally having the guts to get the job done, she closed her laptop and walks out from their room with a wide smile on her face. It will be easy like cutting cloths right?

Taeyeon enetered the living room where the mission will take place. Her onyx eyes saw Tiffany covered in her pinkish apron-like silk cloth around her front with her hands holding the bluish cloth ready to cover Taeyeon’s body, from neck until her legs. A small chair at her front, ready to take the smaller woman’s weight.

“Are you sure about this Tae?” the taller one asked.

“One-hundred percent. I trust you,” Taeyeon said as she sat on the chair.

“Okay,” Tiffany stated as she covered Taeyeon’s small frame and clipped it on. She reached for her hair dryer and brush to make her lover’s hair dry.

The sound of the dryer echoes inside their small apartment. It took some minutes before her hair finally got dried from roots ’til the end.

The hair cut styling begins.

“Fany why is there no mirror here?” Taeyeon asked.

“We don’t have a huge mirror that can be moved. It’s inside our room,” she answered.

“Okay,” Taeyeon shrugged and do her swag pose then chuckled afterwards.

Due to Taeyeon’s sudden move, Tiffany cuts a huge chunk of the latter’s hair accidentally. She was frozen in her spot while looking at the back of Taeyeon’s head. The part where the hair was cut off became super short that she’s sure, the latter will throw a fit. What the fuck did I just do? Tiffany… you had one job… and you suck as fuck.

“Fany why did you stop?” Taeyeon asked then looked down.

Tiffany saw the huge chunk of hair and immediately kicked it out of Taeyeon’s sight. That was close…

“N-nothing? I was just thinking of the coolest cut that I can give you boo,” Tiffany said and just decided to continue. Thinking that she can’t possibly glue the hair back. During the cutting process, she was actually thinking for a style that will suit the length of the shortest hair.

“Really? You are the best, the coolest, and the sexiest woman boo,” Taeyeon grins and decided to play with her phone while Tiffany is designing her silky smooth hair.

I just hope it will stay like that after you see your hair.

“Taeyeon, I love you. You know that right?”

“Yep.Why suddenly asked? I love you too and you should always remember that okay?”

“Sure.”

Her hands and scissor danced around Taeyeon’s swag-to-be hair. Her mind can’t think of anything yet. She was brainstorming when the smaller woman raised her phone to her eye-level.

“I’m lost and the instruction was in english, mind to help me gorgeous lady?” Taeyeon asked with her puppy eyes.

Tiffany looked at the screen and indeed, it was in english. The screen said, I’m the map, I’m the map, you are going the wrong way.

She told Taeyeon what was on the screen then when the latter understands it, she proceeds to cut the hair, an idea finally struck her mind for a possible style. She always says she was lost. And the map was there. Oh my God Tiffany you are so brilliant!

Tiffany cuts the hair with a smile on her face. She was so passionate about it and she hopes her boo will like it too.

It passed an hour when Tiffany removed the silk around Taeyeon’s neck and put some powder on. She looks at her boo and admired her work. She looks so cute! Her smile was so wide until it strucked her hard. Taeyeon doesn’t like to be cute. She liked to be swag and cool. Holy crap!

Taeyeon was asleep on the chair so Tiffany lifted her up with all her might and bring her to their bedroom.

What to do? What to do? Oh gosh why am I so stupid!

When an idea gets into her mind, she immediately removed all their mirrors with the help of some construction tools that they have. She safely place them under their bed so the sleeping woman won’t see them.

Her hand reaches for her luggage and put her clothes in it. Good for a month vacation. After all is settled, she pulls out a piece of paper from the table and write something before leaving it where it is easily seen.

When she comes out of their unit, she stopped the first taxi that she saw and urges the driver to drive as fast as he could to go away from the place. The driver looked at her weirdly but she doesn’t care. She needs to hide for the possible World War III.

When they reached their destination, she pulls out some bills on her wallet and drags her luggage with her. Her feet reached the door mat and rings the doorbell.

Just a few rings and the door opened, a tall and slim woman comes out. “Oh hey Fany what brings you her-” the tall woman was cut when the newly arrived woman pushed her to side and walks inside without waiting for her invitation.

Sooyoung didn’t asked her friend that moment and just let her stay inside her place. She doesn’t need her friend collapsing in front of her. “Okay? I’ll ask you later about it. But for now, go to the guest room okay? Rest a bit. You look so stressed,” the taller friend dragged her luggage inside with her walking next to them.

“Thanks Syoung-ah, you are an angel.”

“Non-sense. I’m sure you’ll help me when I needed you too,” Sooyoung lets Tiffany lie on her guest room’s bed and pulls the luggage inside. “Tell me if you needed anything, I’m just outside this room.” She closed the main light and then closed the door.

Oh God have mercy on me… Tffany thought before her stress consumed her and she fall asleep.

—

A groan. A stretch. Taeyeon finally wakes up. She scanned the area and found out that she’s inside their shared room. It was so quiet. Strange.

She decided to get off from the bed and she can sense that something was odd. It looks like something was removed but she can’t point it out yet due to her groggy state. “Fany? Are you there?” She asked loud enough for the latter to hear and then walked her way out of their bedroom.

No one answered.

“Fany?” She walks to the kitchen but she only found Prince eating near the fridge.

She almost forgot that she had a haircut, courtesy of her lovely girlfriend, if she didn’t squat down to clean the mess that Prince did and saw some hair strands. No, cut that. There was a lot.

Oh? Did Fany forget to throw my hair in the bin? Strange…

Her hand reached for the broom and dust pan and used it to get the remaining hair under their fridge. The amount of hair strands shocked her. It was a lot! She lets the broom and the dust pan to fall on the floor that shocked the poor white maltese and reached for her hair. Her mind almost regret doing so as the horrifying truth shocked her.

Oh God… Tell me I’m dreaming… Please…

She looks for any mirror but she found none. And it strucks her mind, the mirror are the missing ones inside their apartment that’s why it was strange.

Taeyeon runs as fast as she could and run inside their bedroom. Indeed, their huge mirror attached on the wall was missing. That pinky bish! Taeyeon looked around to find any mirror that she can get but there’s nothing. She tried to calm her mind and finally she remembers that her phone have a front camera. Upon reaching the small piece of technology, she found a paper near it, Tiffany’s handwriting.

Dear Baby Boo whom I love the most in the whole universe living at Seoul, South Korea as of the moment, East Asia, Asia continent, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe,

I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH AND YOU KNOW IT. I LOVE EVERY PEACE OF YOU AND YOU KNOW IT. EVEN YOUR MORNING BREATH IS AMAZING TO ME. AND FYI, YOUR HAIR IS THE CUTEST, THE BOLDEST, AND LITERALLY THE COOLEST HAIR THAT I’VE SEEN. DON’T KILL ME TAEYEON PLEASE. ASK SUNNY AND SHE’LL SAY THE SAME. BUT FOR NOW, I NEED TO DO A DAMAGE CONTROL SO I’LL NOT BE GOING HOME ‘TIL YOU COOL DOWN.

PS. DORA’S HAIRSTYLE SUITS YOU, NO JOKE. AND I BELIEVE YOU WON’T GET LOST ANYMORE.

YOUR HOT AND SEXY BOO,

FANY

Taeyeon stared at the small piece of paper for minutes, reading it again and again. And Dora’s name was the most attractive word on her mind. She immediately fishes her phone from the table and open the front camera. What she saw make her reach the state of nirvana. She doesn’t move, doesn’t speak. Basically does not do anything like a statue. She may look calm outside, but inside, she is not. Far from calm. I can’t believe she made me look like that No Permanent Address bitch that doesn’t change clothes… Calm down Taeng, you need not to shout… It’s new life. And Dora is fi-

They run around the same area asking everyone if they saw a guy wearing a black cloak and blade at his back with a kid with him, but there’s none. Tiffany feels so bad about what happened. Thinking that if she didn’t open her tactless mouth, the kid wouldn’t walk away from them and the reaper won’t get the kid.

This is all my fault! Tiffany blamed herself.

Yes, the kid is annoying most of the time but she learned to get used to her presence that she almost treat her like her own kid, sister or anything family related. The abscence of her presence is like a coffee without water. It’s just not the same anymore. She needs to find the kid and Baeji as fast as she can before it’s too late.

They walked. Asked. Looked around. Entered different restaurants in the vicinity. But they can’t find the kid.

“Ppani you should eat,” Taeyeon said as she tried to hold onto Tiffany’s hand and make her slow down. But the lawyer didn’t stopped. Her hands tried to hold her again and this time, she managed to hold her. But she tried to break free. There’s a few people around who doesn’t seem to mind the lawyer’s actions. “Ppani-“

Tiffany finally turned around and what Taeyeon saw made her shocked. There’s small line of tears flowing down through the latter’s face. “Taeyeon, if you will try to stop me now, they might go further and the chances of us getting the kid back will be slim! I won’t let that happen to that kid. You heard me? Never. So if you will stop me again, do not go with me tomorrow.” With that, Tiffany started walking again with Taeyeon trailing behind.

The search go on for an hour. Another one. And until it’s dark enough that there’s no more public transportations moving around the place.

All Tiffany could do is to blame herself for what happened. It was the exact thought that keeps running in her mind until they reach Sunny’s place.

Sunny could only look at them with her confused face. Tiffany walked inside the room to get herself clean, lifelessly. Taeyeon stayed inside the living room with Sunny.

“What happened? Where’s the kid?”

Taeyeon sat down and started telling their friend about what happened back there without leaving a single information left unsaid. Even the small tears coming from Tiffany’s eyes was told to their small friend.

Instead of sadness, Taeyeon saw a small but quick pull of the latter’s mouth upwards which intrigued her. Isn’t she supposed to be sad about this? If she didn’t paid attention, she won’t see it. She was about to ask about it but the lawyer already came back with her clean set of clothes and freshly washed hair.

Taeyeon set aside her thought and joined the two of them to eat. She managed to eat three spoons of food now and she’s already full. After washing and cleaning the plates, they camped inside the living room.

Tiffany called her sister about this sudden trip and ask about things back at Seoul. They continued talking for minutes while the other two women watched television.

After some time, Tiffany finally cut the call with a single bye, take care and I love you. After putting the phone down, the solemn look on the lawyer’s face makes a comeback.

“It’s all my fault. I failed. I’m sorry.”

Sunny walks to where she was sitting and held her hands. “Hey, it’s not your faul-“

“If i didn’t open my mo-“

Sunny grips Tiffany’s hand to make her stop. “Tiffany. Hey. Listen. If it happens, it happens. It’s already done so don’t dwell too much on yourself. Yes you were wrong. You need to accept that. But that doesn’t mean that you cannot make it right. Take it as a lesson for you to reflect so you won’t make the same mistake twice. First is a mistake, second is a choice. So learn from that to make yourself better. You get me?” Her hands cupped the lawyer’s face and make her look directly into her eyes.

Tiffany nods.

“Now, all we need to do is brainstorm together for the possible places that the kid might be. And we need to find the places where Baeji loved to go when she’s still alive. Have you called Yoona?”

Tiffany shakes her head. “Thanks for all your help Sunny,” she said and hugged her for a while then looked at where Taeyeon is and motions her to come closer. Taeyeon complied and was shocked when she was pulled into a tight hug. “Thanks a lot to you too. I’m sorry if i’m being unreasonable earlier. I’ll try to make myself better.”

The visible soul in the two pairs of eyes returned the hug and pats the lawyer’s back. “It’s okay. I understand. Let’s find them both as fast as we can before it’s too late.”

The heart-warming moment stopped in a matter of seconds as Tiffany dialed her sister’s number.

A few rings and Joohyun answers, “Hello? Unnie are you fine now to give me a different investigator? The one you refer is really annoying.”

Tiffany chuckled at her sister’s ramblings. “Hyunnie-yah, no. She’s the best that you can get in that field. And is Yoona still up?”

“Is that so? Then I guess I don’t have a choice. You wanna talk to her?”

“Yeah if she’s still up.”

“Okay. Wait,” there’s some noisy sound from the other line and after a few seconds she heard Yoona. “Hello unnie?”

“Yoona is it okay to ask you some questions about Ba-Suzy? Just a few questions only,” Tiffany asked her then bite her fingers while waiting for the latter’s asnwer.

This habbit was not left unnoticed by the hawk-like eyes of a certain midget near the said lawyer. Sexy.

“It’s okay unnie. What is it?”

“So…”

—

“Noona there will be a big mission later. I need you to be there. For a mission success in advance.” A young guy whispered through his phone.

There was a hum on the other line, “Is that so? Thanks for inviting me. I’ll help you for sure. Is boss going too?”

“Yeah. He want to kill him by himself and just want us for look out.”

“Okay. I’ll make sure to be there. Send me the address and time.”

“Thanks noona. You’re the best. I’ll hung up now,” the young man said before dropping the call. He walked near his bed and pulled out something. When it was finally out, the object was revealed. Shinning brightly in the dark. The blade at the end of it was sharp enough to slice a human flesh with just a single hit. It was his possession. His axe.

“Minho!” He heard his boss’ loud voice. “Yah Choi Minho! Get down her fast! We need to get going! This will be a fun night!” A series of laughter was heard and he shakes his head while grinning. This will be a fun night. Bloody Mary.

“I’m going down hyung!”

—

“Ah!!!”

“Keep shouting. Do you think someone will hear a ghost like you?” The man laughed psychotically and it scared the girl that shouted earlier a little.

She glared at him, “What do you need from me.”

“From you?” He laughed again. “I just need to suck your soul with my blade and send you where you should be. That simple.”

“What are you waiting for then? Why do you keep me here for hours. You are such a coward. What? You can’t fight a kid like me? Ha! Such a weak reaper you are.”

The man in his cloak grins and removed his hood. He walks close to where the kid was and smirked at her, “Such a tackless mouth you got there young soul. Well, I’m generous when I want to. So why not? Give the young soul’s wish,” he walks to his blade and lift it up. “Bye naughty one. Go to the place where you should be,” he said before swinging his blade to the terrified soul’s direction.

—

It’s been two days since the search. They have visited the places that Yoona told her. All of them. And even the nearby structures around the place that Baeji loved to visit.

It feels sad to fail like this. But failure is not in the lawyer’s vocabulary.

“We’re going back to Seoul. Let’s go.”

“But what about the ki-“

“Taeyeon the reaper gets her. We roamed this place around looking at every corner but she’s not here. Same goes to the reaper. It’s sad yes, but maybe that was her time to get back to her mother don’t you think? Now, if she’s still here, we need to find that cunt first and give him a lesson. And we need to find Baeji before he does.”

“What if the kid is still here?”

“I doubt that. We almost turned this place upside down but still nothing.”

Taeyeon looked at Tiffany as if she had grown another head. Thinking it’s better not to object, she complied immediately and walked-run beside the latter on their way back to Sunny’s house. She has a point anyway.

Tiffany stopped a taxi and immediately gets in. She waited for Taeyeon to sit beside her before shutting the door.

Too many things running inside her mind. Just like the other souls that she had helped before, some of them wanders around their favourite places. But most not all stays where they were killed. So their next stop, Yoona’s restaurant.

I just hope I’m right with my decision this time.

Her mind stopped from her self-sustained conversation when she saw Sunny’s house. They have already arrived. It was a fast ride.

Sunny is not home yet when they entered the place. Tiffany packed their things and texted Sunny that they’ll fly back to Seoul now without forgetting to thank the midget friend for their stay. When she’s done packing, her hand pulls out her wallet and leave a cash on the table. They make sure that the door was locked before leaving.

Getting a ticket is not a problem when you are Tiffany Hwang. With all her connections as a lawyer and her authoritive nature, she got two tickets. Yes, two because she do not want to carry Taeyeon on her lap again.

Excuses. Another part of her mind said.

Not again.

Yes again.

Ugh! I’ll sleep to shut you off! She exclaimed inside her mind and rests her back at her seat.

Same positions. Taeyeon beside the window. Tiffany close to the aile.

Her eyelids closed. Her mind shuts off. Finally, she can rest her mind even for a while.

—

“Okay I’ll see you tomorrow. Remember what I told you okay?”

“I will Dr. Choi,” the last patient for the day said before going out of her clinic.

Sooyoung rests her head on her swivel chair and tries to rest her mind for a bit. It was one of her ways to calm her mind after a lot of painful sessions with her clients. She usually thinks about places, birds chipping, tree leaves falling down, wind whistling, and most importantly, her main moodbooster, food. Thinking about food makes her hungry. She was in the middle of turning around again and again on her chair when she heard the chyme. “Did you forget something Ms. So-oh Fany what are you doing here?” Sooyoung stopped her chair from moving and looked at her friend with her left eyebrow raised.”And who is she? I haven’t seen her before. New friend? Or lover?”

“I’m sorry?” Tiffany asked because she might heard her wrong. She looked at Taeyeon and the latter shrugs.

What the hell is happening? If Taeyeon is visible for normal human’s eyes, the guard should’ve let her log in the visitor’s book. But there’s none. So is it possible that Sooyoung had her third eye opened? But she’s a scaredy cat so she won’t let that happen.

The poor lawyer has a lot of things running inside her precious mind. How did it happened? How can her friend see Taeyeon? Why can’t others see her but her friend did?

Taeyeon is thinking for the possible answers too. She was looking at Tiffany’s giant friend with her eyes not blinking even a single bit. She was not talking. Just observing.

Their thoughts was stopped when they heard the giant laughed.

“Oh my gosh! You should have seen your face Hwang! It was so epic!” The psychiatrist laughed out loud at her friend. “I’m just kidding. How I wish you’ll find someone to bring to us soon. But it’s still funny to see you with that serious expression,” the giant laughed out loud again.

They are both fooled. They noticed that truth.

“Do you think it’s funny?” Tiffany asked with her sinister smile plastered on her smooth face as she looked directly at her friend.

Sooyoung stopped laughing and calm down a bit. The look on Tiffany’s face was not funny at all. It was rather scary for her liking. “N-no? Look, I am trully sorry oka-OH MY GOD WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!”She jumped on her seat when a huge sound was produced by the chair that dropped back inside her office. She runs closer to where Tiffany was and hugged the latter’s arm while trembling badly.

Tiffany tried her best not to laugh at her friend’s antics with her face that was currently buried on her shoulder. “I guess that was the girl that you are talking about? Ooh… Or she was mad at you for disturbing her? Tsk tsk tsk. Shall we take a look? Hello? Anybody there?” Tiffany tried dragging the giant but with the height difference, a single grip from Sooyoung stopped her on her tracks. “Why? We’ll just take a look. Let’s go?”

“NO!”

Taeyeon on the other side was laughing her ass out. It’s nice to see the giant being vulnerable for a small woman like her. And Tiffany is smiling now. At least she can let that stressful thoughts aside for a moment. Her naughty hands pushed the chair a little that made it bump at the table. A discoverable noice was heard again by the three of them.

“AAH! I SWEAR I WON’T JOKE ABOUT IT ANYMORE!” Sooyoung shouted at the top of her lungs. With that loud shout, Tiffany was so sure that her colleagues have heard her.

The giant runs on her table and gets her bag before dragging the lawyer outside with force.

“Syoung-ah let’s take a loo-“

“NO!”

Tiffany asked her again and again just to tease the poor psychiatrist and she was always being cut with a loud NO! answer. They leave her office with Sooyoung still trembling and Taeyeon at her side grinning proudly at her work.

The smallest of the three was so thankful for this moment. The moment that she can see the smile on her lawyer’s face again. They have entered the car when her eyes saw the man in black cloak at the other side of the road with his right hand waving and a smirk plastered on his face. She was terrified but choose not to break the short-term happiness that Tiffany was feeling right now. They will deal with him later. As long as she’s close to Tiffany, everything will be alright.

The hand holding her hand tightens its hold and the eyes of the owner looked at her own. Through their eye communication, she know that the lawyer is asking her if she was alright. Her mind wants to say no. She’s not okay. That she’s terrified. That she was afraid. But it was hard to explain everything when they have another company who unfortunately can’t see her so she just mouthed I’m okay with a small smile on her face and a tighter grip on Tiffany’s hand.

“What happened?” Tiffany asked silently when the passengers inside the plane that they are currently in start grunting in displeasure.

The kid is sitting on Taeyeon’s lap near the plane’s window while looking outside, doesn’t giving a care what was happening inside. Taeyeon on the other hand, looks around and tries to know what was happening even though she’s stucked on her seat. This feels like her first plane trip with Tiffany when they still don’t understand each other. But here they are now looking like a complete family with a kid that they still don’t know what to address. Thinking about the family thing makes her smile like an idiot. And when Tiffany glanced at her, she looked at the window to hide her grinning face.

A tap makes her look back, “Why are you smiling?”

Taeyeon just shrugged and looked back at the window with her smile not fading away.

Tiffany shook her head and ask a passenger near her seat about the little chaos.

“Excuse me Ma’am, but do you mind if I ask why are they being like that?” She asked pertaining to the other passengers who were grunting for unknown reasons.

The middle-aged woman smiled a little at her before answering, “Maybe because of the delay? If you did not notice, we are delayed by 10 minutes already. Some said there was a crazy man trying to get inside. But it seems to be solved since we were moving now.”

“Is that so? Thanks for the information Ma’am. Is that your kid?” She asked when she saw the little girl looking at her while holding her PSP.

“Oh, she’s my granddaughter and we’re going to her mother at her workplace,” the lady explained as she looked a little at the little girl and Tiffany just nod. “What about them?”

“Excuse me?”

“I mean what about them,” the lady pursed her lips at her sides direction. “Are they your family too?”

Tiffany felt cold sweats running down her spine. How did the lady saw Taeyeon and the kid? Is she having the sixth sense that she has too? Or it was another part of Taeyeon’s changing process? Her mind can’t process this things now. “Uhm.. No?”

“No? You don’t know them?”

“It’s not like that. It’s…”

“Ah, nevermind. You look wonderful together like a family. May I take a picture?”

Tiffany can’t say no to the look that the lady was giving her, “S-sure. But I want a copy.”

Her hands tapped Taeyeon’s shoulder and asks her to pose for the camera not minding the questioning look from the latter. The kid smiled when she saw the camera lense that was directed at them and puts up a peace sign. It takes three shots before the lady stopped and thanked them.

When the lady looked at the picture, her brows furrowed, “Can I take another one? They were faded a little here.” The ajhumma asked politely. “Am I asking too much?”

Tiffany looked at Taeyeon again. Their eyes sending invisible messages. With a little raise of eyebrow, movements of closed mouth, tongue flicking and eyes widening, they had their communication. Tiffany smiled back at the lady and pose for another one.

“They are still faded,” the lady said.

“O-oh, maybe because of the sunlight from the window?” The lawyer said.

“Yeah, I guess.”

After some small chats, the lady started attending her granddaughter’s needs and finally stopped talking to Tiffany.

It felt silent again not until the lawyer felt a nudge on her side, it was Taeyeon. “What was that?”

“I don’t know so don’t ask me. Just be thankful that she didn’t ask why the kid doesn’t have her own seat.”

Taeyeon didn’t ask anymore. Tiffany can be a handful at time. If she said no, it’s definitely a no. Her guts told her not to annoy the lawyer anymore. When they land at Jeju, she’ll soon start to unvail her curiousness and no one can stop her.

“Can I sleep?” The kid suddenly asks cutting her mind battle.

“Of course. We’ll just wake you up when we get there,” Taeyeon answers.

“Can I?”

“Can I what?” Taeyeon asked.

Tiffany looked at them and she saw the kid looking at her with her puppy look. Without saying anything and a sigh, she opens her crossed arms and the kid immediately went on her lap leaving Taeyeon’s before getting a better position with her ears placed on top of the lawyer’s chest where her heart is located. Within the times that they’ve been living with each other, her instinct catched up fast and kept it printed in her mind the different types of the kid’s habits.

“Sleep. You’ll both be tired the first second we land at Jeju,” the lawyer said and held the kid on her lap securely before closing her own set of eyes.

Taeyeon didn’t say anything and closed her eyes too. The consciousness that was keeping her up finally left her for good and it was scary when she thinks about it. This was not supposed to happen. A soul shouldn’t be resting. A soul should always be awake but here they are having their mind and soul shut.

It’s been a while since Tiffany closed her eyes. She felt a feather-like touch on her face. The eyes that was comfortably closed then started opening slowly. Her vision was blurry. The hands that was resting on the kid’s back tried clearing her vision by cleaning her eyelids but the image of someone touching her face is still blurry. One thing is for sure, the culprit has a short hair.

“I’ll get them if you wont get up soon,” the voice of a man said.

Tiffany’s mind tells her that she needs to get up no matter who this guy was talking about.

And so she did. She sat up straight and her vision got clearer. But what her eyes saw made her shocked.

Standing on front of her looking awesomely handsome with his hands touching her cheeks was the one they were running away from. A gleaming and sharp-looking metal blade on his back. The reaper.

—-

“Hello?”

“Hello.” The person on the other line said. A woman. It was not a question. It was more of a demanding tone silently asking who is calling her.

It takes a second before the woman on the other line talk again. “Joohyun Hwang?”

“Yes I am. So I ask my sister to hel—”

“I have the files that you needed about Lee MinHo. Meet you in 30 minutes. I’ll send you the place. Delete this call from your phone. Bye.”

The call was dropped.

Joohyun looked at her phone’s screen. Disbelief written on her face. Who was that? A big question running now inside her mind. How did her sister had known such rude and annoying woman? That’s another one. How did she know what she’s about to ask? Probably because her sister briefed her but that isn’t a solid proof. Does her sister had that girl looking for the background of her client’s suspect way before she asked for help? Another question.

She was standing near her office’s window looking outside. Her eyes saw a black motorcycle parked just a building away from their firm. The man covered in all black suit was looking around. He was suspicious. She was about to call the guards when her phone lits up. A message was received. She opens it and the address that she knew well was displayed on her screen.

She decided to drop her hunch and just leave the man alone for now. Client first before others. And with that, she gets her purse and locks her office’s door leaving her assistant outside at the table.

—-

A sudden bolt made Taeyeon and the kid awake. Tiffany literally jolted up. Her breathings uneven. When they look outside, the plane was about to stop. They safely landed on Jeju. A confused and worried face was etched on their faces.

They walked out from the airport. Her right foot was about to enter the taxi when her peripheral vision caught an image of a guy who was looking after them but suddenly vanished on the sea of people going out from the airport. It was the same man from her nightmare. The man with the huge blade. The reaper. The nightmare of souls find them for real.

She moved fast and asked the driver to drive fast. Her mind is wondering how can she find Baeji and at the same time hide Taeyeon and the kid from the reaper.

There should be a way. There is always a way on everything. I just need to find it and discover it myself. Fighting Stepho. Fighting—wait what? Ugh. Nevermind.

In no time, they have reached Sunny’s place leaving her shocked and happy to see her friend back at the same time.

“Heol,” Sunny said when the kid and Taeyeon was out of sight.

“What?”

“When I said make out with her and you wouldn’t get pregnant by a ghost, I’m just kidding. But look at you now, you guys even have a kid. Aww, a complete family. What a nice view,” the small friend clasped her hands together and stared dreamily above. “You didn’t stop did you?” Sunny raised her eyebrows continuously that annoys the shit out of Tiffany.

“First, I did not make out or do any further things with her. Second, fix your time frame. The kid is older than the time I know Taeyeon. Third, I’m still a virgin so fuck off—”

“What a waste,” Sunny cut her off.

“What did you say?”

“Nothing. I said you are such a role model.”

“Whatever.”

Sunny grins. It was so entertaining to annoy the blushing lawyer. “Go rest a bit Ms. V.”

Tiffany raised her middle finger at Sunny before going to the room where Taeyeon and the kid was located.

An hour passed and they all gathered inside the kitchen.

“I saw the reaper.”

The utensils stopped clanking and making any noise after Tiffany said that. Even the kid was listening now.

“When?” Sunny asked.

“Today. I dreamed of him. He warned me that he’ll get the both of them if I wouldn’t wake up when I was sleeping in the plane. I jolted up but he wasn’t there. Then when we were about to ride the taxi. I’ve seen him looking at us but he vanished.” Tiffany pressed her thumbs and index fingers on her temple. “We just need to avoid him and get Baeji before him.”

Taeyeon puts down her spoon, “Help your sister’s case first before us. She matters more.”

“Nonsense. I am not the type to backout when things get hard for me. We’ll work on this altogether. No one will be left out. Just hold on, things will be better if we fight for them.” Tiffany said.

“But sometimes it’s better to give up the things that will not do any good. It’s better to think about yourself once. I don’t want to be a hindrance with your sister’s case,” Taeyeon said back.

“Don’t think of yourself as a hindrance. I’m good at multi-tasking. And besides, we’ve made it this far. I wouldn’t waste all of the efforts that was wasted here. You have a progress. You can rest. Can eat. Can communicate. Can touch. Can feel. And just earlier, you was seen by a lady aside from me. Just hang on a little will you? If I know that you are weak like this, I shouldn’t have accepted the guts to help you. Don’t make me regret my decision please.” The lawyer said while looking at Taeyeon.

“Psst,” Sunny whispered at the kid beside her. “Are we watching a drama series? What’s the genre?” She snickered.

The kid looked at her, “Romance, mystery-thriller.”

“O-kay? I get the romance but why mystery-thriller?”

“There’s still a lot to unveil and secrets to be known. And the thriller thing is who to get that mystery solved first. Will the good side wins or the bad ones? That’s the mystery-thriller part. And add horror,” the kid stated softly while looking at Sunny directly in the eyes.

“Woah. Are you sure you are a kid?”

“I’m sure I am.”

“You know something that we don’t.”

“No. WE know something that they don’t.”

Sunny pursed her lips, “I don’t know what you’re saying kid.”

“Sure. But one thing is for sure, we are both looking for the good side to win. I missed the old times and I wanted to feel it again soon.”

“Hm…” Sunny nods and didn’t reply back. “Hey is this a tv series?” She said louder in order for the two individuals to hear.

“Fuck off!” They both said.

“Nice teamwork fuckers,” Sunny laughed and continue eating not after giving a wink to the kid.

The kid can only shake her small head.

“Sunny help us,” Tiffany said. “How can we locate a wandering ghost around?”

“Look where she was when you last saw her. Or the places she loved to visit or stay when she’s still live. Research about it.”

“I’m just the child and you can be Satan yourself. Who’s the more evil now? Taeyeon unnie?”

“You two can stay here if you will be both immature. Ugh,” Tiffany walked out from the kitchen and walked to their shared bedroom. She needs to move fast.

“That’s your fault kid!” Taeyeon said.

The kid stared at her befpre cleaning her face and continued eating without saying anything.

Taeyeon grunted.

Sunny snickered, “Taeyeon, you do act like a kid.”

“Yah!”

—-

Joohyun enters the restaurant that she and her sister love to visit. The interior looks classy but eco-friendly at the same time. Cheap but quality food. Friendly staffs. Clean bathrooms. Fresh ambiance. Comfortable seats. What more can you ask for?

Her eyes wander around the place. There’s a few people considering the time. Some students who probably cut classes. An old couple eating happily. A family of four. And a mysterious woman dressed in a leather jacket covering her white plain shirt, pants, boots, and a cap. That must be her.

Silent steps. Joohyun walks her way to the said woman.

“Hwang?”

“Yes. May I know your na—”

“Take a seat.” The woman looks away from her and pulls out a pink folder from her bag. “All the informations about Lee Minho is inside that pink folder. His connection with the Axe Gang since his high school days up until now. All we need is a solid proof and he’ll be jailed for his whole life.” The woman took a sip on her drink until it was over. “Waiter! Can I have another coffee? Make it two please! Thanks!”

“What is Axe Gang?”

“Came from the word itself, gang. What would you expect?” The woman answered her sarcastically. “Are you sure you are a lawyer? Pretty slow for one.”

The nerve of this woman!

“Excuse me? Are you questioning my credibility?” Joohyun fires back.

“Chill down. Hold your tits woman. I am here to help,” the woman said in a calm tone. “Axe Gang, they call it AxeG then add another abbreviation after the name itself that depends on what place they were doing criminal things. For example, if the members were in Busan, it would be Axeg—BCO which stands for Busan Chapter Operations. If you heard some carnapping, holdup victims or even drug dealings and robberies, you can expect that those things were from their members.”

“So AxeG—SCO stands for the Seoul members? Ugh. Then he is really capable of killing people. Why didn’t I realise it sooner.” Joohyun massaged her temple.

“I’m wondering about that too.”

Joohyun glared at her. The insults are getting out of hand.

The woman raised both of her hands at head height in surrender, “You have your sister’s aura. Scary as fuck. But anyways, yeah he is capable of killing. How can I say so? Simple. He killed the leader of the gang to take over it and claim the superiority. Now, he controls the other chapters in which by the way was already took down by the Korean Police. The only gang chapter that was left operating was his group. He is manipulative. Very good at negotiating. So don’t be shocked if I say that you will lose this case if you can’t find a better and solid evidence.”

“How can you say so?” Joohyun interrupted her. “I’ve handled cases like this and I managed to win them. Who are you to tell what’s going to happen?

“Nice question little Hwang. Let me answer then one by one. First, you are in Seoul and the crime happened in Seoul so the case was filed here. That’s one problem.”

“Why is th—”

The woman raise her hands to stop the young lawyer, “You have your sister’s annoying characteristics too. Seriously, calm the fuck down woman.”

“Are you saying me and my sister are anno—”

“Shut up or I’ll leave.”

That made her silent. No matter how much this woman in front of her pisses her off, she can’t fight not until she gets what she needs.

“So since the case was filed here, automatically, the judge will be the one who’s residing here. You won’t win. Why? The officials here are corrupt. Not all but most. Lee Minho is a one rich guy. He pays them to side him. You can say bye to your motherfucking informant too. Jin Hanseok right? His family is on Minho’s hand. So even if he was reliable most of the time, he will lie for his family. So if you really wanna save that woman, all we you need is a very solid proof. And that is where you need my help.”

“What do we need to do?”

The woman smiled at her as she took another sip from her newly arrived coffee. “Hmm…”

—-

“Excuse me ma’am, did you see this woman somewhere?” Tiffany asked the restaurant staff where they ate with Baeji.

The woman looked at the picture and shook her head afterwards before leaving them when a customer called her.

It has been like this since two hours ago. They walked and walked and walked but no one seems to know her. Taeyeon and the kid seems to be in fine conditions now. Looking friendly like before.

“Wait. I heard something,” the kid stopped them from their tracks. She massaged her right ear and her forehead crunched. “Someone’s looking for Miss Baeji too,” she said as her eyes closed tightly. There was an unbearing pain that was attacking her

“You have that ability and you didn’t even tell me?” Tiffany asked in defeat. “So that’s why huh? That’s why you suddenly asked weird questions after that time. I can’t believe it. You lied.”

“You didn’t ask. You don’t even care. All I am to you was a kid’s soul that is lost,” the kid looked at her straight in her eyes. Tears forming but she stopped it from flowing down. “You give me food, yes. You give me shelter, yes. But I don’t need any of them. What I need is unfortunately unavailable right now. You don’t have an idea how hurtful it is to be called liar for no apparent reason, do you?” A single tear dropped.

“Uh, guys. Can we no—” Taeyeon was cut.

Tiffany looked at the kid’s face. It’s hurting her to see the kid’s fluffy face at this condition.

“I think I’ll be going back home now. I will just ruin your search. And the voice stopped, if you are wondering,” the kid started walking away from them.

Taeyeon shook her head. Tiffany looked at the kid and was about to tell her to get back when the man in black cloak walks passed her and they both disappeared.

When Taeyeon gets inside the meeting room, the KNP officers looked at her —poker faced, their guards up. The other KSAF agents were not yet inside so no one will explain what’s happening aside from herself.

“Excuse me sir but I think you are in a wrong room,” Jonghyun said politely while looking at her.

No one from the police got a good guess who she is. Why? Because she was wearing her black ragged pants completed with a badass belt, a huge black hoody with zipper at the front that was covering her head, a black high-cut shoes with insoles and her blonde wig. A wig that is so short that now, she looks like a guy. There’s no lipstick and make-up applied on her smooth like silk face, just an eye-liner and a cream.

“S-sir, excuse me but please—”

“Oh hey Captain Kim, you are here already,” Sunny suddenly entered the room and Jonghyun together with the other policemen got her attention.

“Captain Kim?!” The police asked in unison. They all looked at Taeyeon.

Taeyeon just removed her hoody and looked at them seriously, “You don’t expect me to go to that human-trafficking club as a girl do you?”

“Uhm… sorry for my actions captain Kim,” Jonghyun bows down and the his team follow suit.

After a minute, the door opens and another man — way taller than Taeyeon, enters.

“And I guess that’s Agent Yoona,” Jonghyun said.

Yoona, upon hearing her name, stopped adjusting her belt and looked up, “Anyone call my name?” She was wearing a loose grey t-shirt with a sleeveless black hoody underneath, a dark denim pants, a white and black sneakers plus her short black wig that was completely styled with a gel. And just like Taeyeon’s face, the make up is minimal, cream and eye liner with a stylish mustache perfectly drawn below her nose.

“Nice mustache Agent Yoona,” Taeyeon commented with a thumbs up.

“Thanks Captain. It costs a lot of time hanging out with the mirror,” she joked.

After the other agents entered, they started the re-briefing and double checking of the gadgets — earpiece, shoes, the weapons and more.

With the last click of their belts, the KSAF agents together with the KNP are ready to go.

“I pray for all of our safety. I, agent Taeyeon, the leader of this mission, together with the other agents of KSAF will do our very best to catch our target, Mr. Lee Sungho with the help of KNP. Men, are you ready?”

“Captain Kim we are ready!” The police officers and agents under the OperationStrippers shouted as they all started leaving the meeting room and go to their respective cars to use.

Inside one heavily tinted black car, Sunny, Hyomin, and Hyuna were located. They are the intelligence team also know as the eye of the mission. Meaning, they were the ones staying out of the action field during every mission, they were the ones looking out for the possible routes and cctv hacking to make it easier for the field agents. With Sunny being the head commander, Hyomin as her assistant and Hyuna as the aspiring newbie, they were set to go. Each of them has weapons in hands too, just in case.

Found inside the white BMW, there were Taeyeon, Yoona, Hyorin, and Jessi. They are the field agents trained for close combat, weapon use and are the ones with high-risk of getting killed in every mission.

A newbie under probation Hyorin is a sharp-shooter, may it be knife, darts, guns or any weapon. She can also do physical combat but she’s more into weapons. Jessi is good on guns but she’s more skilled in combat fight, always breaking someone’s bones when she got mad. Yoona is good at both, she’s an agent at day sniper at night type of member. Her mastery of gun anatomy is priceless. And then there is Taeyeon, a sharp-shooter captain but not excellent like Yoona’s. Like everyone says, you can’t have it all. But if Yoona is excellent in guns, Taeyeon is the same on physical combat. They always say, small but terrible. Being small and petite gives her an advantage because her enemies were always underestimating her child-like body that believe it or not , can throw a raging bull down in a split of second.

The other two cars were loaded with policemen in their uniform and the others in civilian.

With a start of engine from Taeyeon’s group, they all followed suit.

—-

Taeyeon and Yoona with Hyorin and Jessi was stopped on a check in at the Bar’s entrance. A huge bouncer guy with a scanner in hand. Taeyeon and Yoona had no problem but it was a different case with Jessi and Hyorin. Because of their huge fronts, they didn’t manage to disguise as a man.

“Miss this bar is for guys only,” the bouncer said politely.

Taeyeon and Yoona didn’t get inside and waited for their friend to walk in too.

“Sir, they’re with us,” Yoona stated.

The bouncer looked at her and said, “I’m sorry sir but boss says no girls allowed.

“Even if I’m a fucking lesbian?!” Jessi shouted, her patience is wearing thin. With a single stretch of her arms, she pulled Hyorin and sucked her mouth up in a mind-blowing kiss making the bouncer whistle, Taeyeon shaking her head and the poor newbie shocked as fuck. “Now mister, you better let us in or I’ll crush your balls out for making me frustrated,” she ended her act with a glare.

“Guys, what’s happening?” A voice from their earpiece said, it was Sunny. “Why is Jessi shouting?”

The bouncer smirked, “I’d love that but I don’t do lesbians so get inside you fucker.”

“I’m not planning to do you too so it’s a tie, sucker,” with a glint of happiness in her eyes, she dragged the still shocked Hyorin inside the noisy club and joined Taeyeon and Yoona inside.

The club was so busy. A lot of drunk men being nasty with poor girls on their laps getting touched without being able to object. The sight was irking Taeyeon’s mind. If that girl is her wife, those men will have their heads cut off for sure.

They reached the counter where the bartender was sending drinks and get their alcohols before sitting on a sofa which was secluded than the rest of the tables. Their eyes scanning the whole area.

A stage was placed at the front with some girls dancing around a pole in their slutty outfits. The dj working on her masterpiece set of music above. When the eyes of the dj saw their table, she gave a small acknowledgement and nods a little.

“She enjoys this much, doesn’t she?” Jessi said.

“Well, she loves that thing. Maybe you should fix what you caused first,” Taeyeon said and the latter raised her left eyebrow in confusion.

“Hyorin. Fix her,” Yoona stated as she looks at the still shocked newbie.

Jessi nods in acknowledgement and bumps the newbie’s shoulder shocking the life out of her.

“Fuck you,” she mutters.

“Later babe, after we finish this one.”

“Oh my God my first kiss. You stole my first kiss…”

“You serious? I’m not sorry but you are a lousy kisser.”

Hyorin didn’t answered and just took a sip on her drink.

“Seriously agent Ho, stop scaring the newbies away. You made the five members of the last group quit,” Taeyeon said dejectedly as her eyes spotted the dj walking towards them.”She’s here.”

“I’m not scary captain.”

“Whatever. Be keen on the sorroundings. He might be here any second.”

Jessi and the others nodded.

“Hi there ladies and gentlemen,” the dj greeted them and took a sip on Taeyeon’s drink before swiftly putting a small paper under the glass. “I can’t leave for long so goodluck.”

“No fun Hyo,” Jessi teased.

“It’s fun up there big boobs. More fun than staying down here.”

“What did you just call me?” The woman dragged her down on her lap and the latter didn’t object a little and just stay there.

Yoona swiftly put a 45 calibre gun on her back. The woman on Jessi’s lap frowned.

“Just in case things don’t go our way,” Yoona said.

“I don’t need that but thanks Yoong. Now let me get up big boobs.”

“I’m not the only one with big boobs here idiot.”

“Yeah right. Agent Hyorin nice to meet you I’m Hyoyeon. Now, Jessi let me get off with ease you dumbass,” Hyoyeon tried to move away but the later isn’t letting her. “Taeng if you would let me I’ll break…”

“Not needed Hyo. Just continue moving, your boss is here and he’s walking close,” Taeyeon said as she get the paper under the glass and give it to Hyorin.

In just a few seconds, a taller man in his late 30s with two huge men at his back walk to their spot.

“Is there any problem here ladies and gentlemen? I can give you women of your choice. Our dj isn’t for hire here,” the man of their topic said.

Hyoyeon stands up from Jessi’s lap and bow down at the man in front. “Good evening manager Lee.”

“Get up there Hyo, just play with your music choices. The show will begin in a few.”

Hyoyeon followed and walks back to where she was earlier.

“What show?” Yoona asked in her manly tone.

“Oh, I guess you are new here. We have a one of a kind show that will make you choose your pick. Just wait for it in a bit and you’ll see. And I guess these two are lesbians,” the manager said. One of the huge men whisper something and his forehead scrunched. “By the way ladies and gentlemen, I need to do something. Enjoy your stay in my club.” With that, the manager left them for good.

After making sure that there’s no one lurking around, they started their mission.

“Give me the paper Hyorin.”

The said woman give her the paper.

“Sunny. The last room on the left. We have the passcode. Alert the team.”

“At it captain. I hacked the security camera and I looped the one I recorded earlier. You need to do he job in 15 minutes. There’s five huge guards at the entrance, three of them roaming around sometimes. One bouncer in every room corner. 10 seconds run and you’ll reach the room where the girls are in. The target needs to be alive for questionings. Goodluck team,” Sunny ended her speech.

Taeyeon and Hyorin walks first leaving the drunktard men gawking at the poor girls being stripped down on the stage. After 30 seconds, the other two joined. On their way to the secret coridor, there’s indeed two huge men in sight. The other three might be roaming around the rooms.

“Jessi shut down the CCTV monitor. Hyorin, join Yoona and let go of the girls safely. I’ll go get the target. After you are done, get back here for help if Jessi and I aren’t out yet. Now move!”

Hyorin and Yoona, being the sharp-shooters in the team do the honor and fire a tranquilizer at the two men making them fall unconscious on the floor.

They all run fast and drag them inside a vacant room. After 30 seconds, Jessi and Hyorin have the men’s outfit.

“I’m going to the CCTV room. Hyuna cover me,” Jessi said as she runs fast.

“Got it.” Hyuna on the other side answers. They were inside the black car with different laptops on their laps.

Yoona and Hyorin fires another load of tranquilizers when they saw another two men walking close.

12 minutes

They run as fast as they could and hide the sleeping bodies in sight. The tranquilizer will make them asleep for 15 minutes so they needed to make it fast. There’s still some guards around and they still have five shots left.

“Unnie we’ll be going now,” Yoona said as she runs as fast as they could while dragging Hyorin with her leaving Taeyeon alone.

“Sunny how many are they?” Taeyeon asked through her mouthpiece. “I’m at the corner of the target’s room.”

“Two guards outside, three men inside armed with guns. He’s with a crying girl and I believe she is IU. The rising star that went missing weeks ago.”

“Copy that.”

Her steps were silent to almost no sound at all. The tranquilizer gun on her hand has only two shots, perfect fot the two men in sight. Her index finger pulls the trigger in and the shots were fired. The guards let out a little squeak and they both fell down.

10 minutes

She hid the bodies and about to enter the codes to get the target when a cold hard thing was placed on the back of her head.

“Hands up or you’ll have your brain scattered on the floor.”

—-

Tiffany enters her daughter’s room. Irene was still sleeping soundly with her mouth opened a little. The calmness of her chest proves it good. Her feet left the room to let the kid rest.

She gets a drink from the fridge and walk inside the spacious living room. She wants to wait for Taeyeon to get back to her without any complications.

When she walks near the table inside, she saw their family picture in display with Taeyeon hugging the both of them while eating the ice cream like a retard. Her hand reaches for it but it slipped down from her delicate fingers and the frame cover got broken as it says hi, face to face with the floor. She picked it up and a small piece of glass ripped through her thumb, “Fuck!” She quickly runs inside the kitchen and cleans her thumb before putting it inside her mouth.

A tingly sensation fills her whole being. A sudden rush of adrenaline comes out running through her veins. This is a bad omen. You better get back alive or I’ll kill you Kim.

—-

Yoona fires another tranquilizer and the man fell down but his partner is still up. They run out of shots. Before he man can shout for help, Hyorin threw her tranquilizer gun straight to the man’s mouth making him cough hard while holding his throat.

Yoona looked at her and grins as she gives a thumbs up. Hyorin grins too.

“You shit!” The man shouted when he got back his voice. His hands reached for the radio to get help from the other guards but Yoona beats him to it as she kicks his hands hard sending the radio device far away from them. “You fuck—”

Hyorin threw a punch on his face to stop him from making any noise. The senior agent got that opportunity as she runs fast to the man and hit his head with her elbow as hard as she could. She winced in pain as the man fell down. “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Holy shit! My elbows oh my gosh!”

Hyorin can only look at her with a judging stare as she continued jumping like a wild kid.

—-

“What the fuck is she doing? Time is ticking!” Hyomin exclaimed as they saw Yoona jumping while holding her elbows as she kicks the man again and again.

“Relax. They’ve taken down the men who were guarding the rooms so it’s okay for her. Now, let’s focus on—” Sunny was cut when a knock was heard on their car’s door. Her hands immediately close the laptops as Hyuna opened the window.

A guy who was in a black shirt — the same as the guards’ outfit comes into their view.

“Yes sir how may we help you?” Hyuna asked as Hyomin jumps on Sunny’s lap and kissed her neck hard earning a groan from the latter. The agent’s eyes noticed the look that the man was giving so she went out of the car and closed the door.

“What was that?” The man asked, his face red and a lump on his pants didn’t pass unnoticed by the agent’s eyes.

Hyuna took the opportunity and hold the man’s in between as hard as she could making him crouch in both pleasure and pain. The grip was just too hard. “You wanna have some fun too?” She pushed him on the car’s carrier and gripped harder than the first one.

The man’s eyes were rolling, “Oh.. yes p-please…”

Men are all the same. Fucking shitheads.

Hyuna took the opportunity and strucked one shot of tranquilizer in his neck making him unconscious. Her hands left the poor thing and walks inside to get a rope. The sight inside her makes her cringe. “Seriously guys, we’re on a mission. Just eat each other after we get the target.” She closes the door and tied the man and put him inside the trunk before locking him inside.

After closing the car’s door again, they open their laptops.

—-

Jessi managed to make the two guards down but entering the CCTV room needs a code.

“Hyuna. CCTV room code.”

No answer.

“Hyuna. I said the co—”

“Aah..“

What the fuck?!

“Guys, you better stop fucking around or I’ll make sure you’ll be fucked out when I get outta here!” She hissed in frustrations.

A series of moan was heard that made the hot headed agent even more furious that she already is.

You wait ’til I get out of here fuckers.

She looked on her wrist clock, “Hmm…”

8 minutes

Getting no response at all, she started knocking but then decided to use her strength and kicked the door continuously. The guards were down so no one will hear her.

The CCTV officer looked at the door as the noise from the outside grows louder and louder. He checks the monitor but there was still the two guards guarding him and standing. “Shit. We’re hacked!” He gets the radio and call the guards outside.

He was about to get the gun when the door opens hard hitting the power supply at the back making the monitors shut down. A suit that he knows very well was worn by a woman.

“When someone is knocking, open the goddamn fucking door!” She shouted and twisted the man’s neck as he fell down on the floor.

“CCTV room cleared.” Jessi made sure to tie him up before locking the door and going back to where the others are.

—-

“Taeyeon!” Sunny’s shout was heard at the earpiece when she finished choking the man that points a gun on her head earlier. “Don’t kill him. We need the target.”

“Roger. Where are the guys at.”

“Two men standing near the door one blast will take them down. The other man near the target in 1 o’clock position. Ms. IU is far from the door in 10 o’clock position so it’s fine. The target in 12 noon.”

“Roger that. Sunny.”

“Hm?”

“Send the men inside.”

“On it captain.”

5 minutes

With a count of one to three, she attached the bomb at the door and hide behind the corner. With a loud blast, she runs inside and fires her gun taking the two men down immediately. She was about to fire the remaining one when the guard inside fires at her. Her small body jumped high and took a cover behind the couch.

A series of gun shots were fired until she got the chance to fire her own gun and hit him right through his chest. He fell down after a second. When she looked around, the target and IU is nowhere in sight.

“Fuck. Sunny! Where did they go?”

“Outside the room then 9 o’clock. After that I don’t know anymore. The CCTV shuts down. The men are going inside now.”

“Thank you,” she said.

“Taeyeon.”

“Yes?” Taeyeon answered as she runs where the target ran off. She pulls out her silver necklace and give it a kiss, wish me luck my lucky charm, she puts it back after.

“Be careful.”

“I will.”

After running outside the other exit of the club, she sees the shadow of the man running inside an open roof abandoned building. Her feet followed suit. When she gets inside, there’s a lot of rooms in sight.

Walking silently with her full alert senses on, her eyes scanned the area.

A single beep was heard and an automatic gun fires at her direction. She ducked down and managed to escape the bullets luckily. When she inspects the area, she saw a very thin wire near her that she unfortunately stepped on and activated the auto-gun.

This building is full of tricky armours. I need to be careful.

And so, she threw a smoke bomb that filled the sorrounding in no time and there, the red gleaming lights were displaye, the lasers. She tried to validate the classification of the laser, either for alarm use or a destructive one by throwing a piece of wood that she saw on the floor. When the wood collides with the laser, it got divided into two. Hm, a destructive one. Need to be extra careful.

When she checks the laser positions, it seems that it was in human’s height and the ceiling is in another human height high. By activating her shoes, she jumped and her sole sticks on the wall. She balanced herself first before proceeding to walk on the ceiling. Her hood covering the rest of her head. Her ears alert on every noise that she can hear.

“Let me go!” She heard the woman shouted followed by a loud slap sound.

Taeyeon got alerted and walks faster to where the sound came from. When she saw a lighted room, she jumps off from the ceiling and deactivated her shoes. After inspecting the environment, she kicks the door open and found the rising star held by the target with a gun pointed at her head.

“One wrong move and she’s dead.”

Taeyeon looks around for the possible resources to stop the the target but there’s none.

“Move aside and let us walk out of here and let me escape in exchange for her life.”

“You aren’t God,” Taeyeon said in her normal voice that made the man shocked and unconsciously pointed the gun at her.

“You are a woman?!” He stated, more than a question.

Taeyeon took the opportunity and runs at his side to disarm him and threw him away from the victim who’s now crying hysterically. The woman hugged her arms tight as she shivers when the man stands up.

“Let go of me! I can’t protect you if you keep being a leech!” She exclaimed but the woman didn’t bulge on her hold. “Get the fuck off!”

“H-he’ll kill me…”

“We’ll be both killed if you won’t let me go!” Taeyeon exclaimed the actress finally let go of her arms.

She pulls IU on the side to cover when the man reached his gun and shoot at their direction.

“Fuck! You stay here! Don’t go out!”

Taeyeon runs after him firing their guns to each other until they reached the outer part of the building. There was no other people in sight. Just the two of them with their guns. She fires another one and managed to hit his thigh. He fell down but managed to fire back.

Taeyeon hides behind the huge cement mixer and fires back too. Her feet runs fast and fires a load of shots until it clicked, she’s out of ammunitions.

The man chuckled and pointed the gun at her while walking closer and stopped mid-way, “Looks like you came here unloaded miss. Say bye to your loved ones because you’ll not see them again.”

Taeyeon looked at him poker-faced. But deep inside, she’s praying hard for her members to come and rescue her to be able to get back to her family — Tiffany and Irene. She was in the middle of her internal mussings when a gunshot was fired.

A body fell on the floor with bloods messing the asphalt road.

“Taeyeon what was that? Taeyeon?! Taeyeon answer me goddamn it! Captain!” Sunny’s voice can be heard through the small earpiece attached on the unmoving agent’s ear.

To call Sunny was the first thing that Tiffany did after reaching her office. She made sure that the incense were lighted up to make sure the safety of her two new friends. A tall pile of papers can be found on top of her office table. It should be her number one priority at this time but here she is, calling her psychiatrist’s friend that is now her friend too to ask something about Taeyeon’s condition. If they were together, she can call herself whipped but the thing is, they’re not an item. Sad. All love.

The case of the kid was intriguing too. How can a ghost eat human food? How come the kid can hold onto her without charging like Taeyeon does? And! She noticed that Taeyeon has lessen her charging time but she can still hold her or touch anything that can be seen by human’s naked eye for long.

Could it be possible that Taeyeon is changing? Tiffany thought.

Nah, that is beyond impossible. Never had she heard about a soul coming into life.Well, there’s some cases if the soul is… having its body unconscious somewhere. “Holy shit… could it be?”

“What? Yah! Are you listening to me Tiffany?” A voice shouted on the other line.

Tiffany walks closer to where her full glass window was located. She looks behind the curtain and presses her fingers on her temple, “Yeah Sunny I am listening. Do you really think so?”

“Yeah, since she’s getting her touching ability with the use of adult magazine that can trigger her arousal, I guess I am right. Are you sure there is no physical contact happened between you two?” Sunny asked.

The lawyer looked at the other woman inside her office playing a game, that she doesn’t know what is the name, with the kid. She sighs, “Well, there is… a kiss.” In my cleavage.

“…”

“Sunny? Are you there? Hey?”

There’s a loud laugh on the other line, “Oh my God! I am laughing hard here Tiffany! You really kissed a ghost? Oh my gosh!” The laugh continued and it gets louder and louder every second.

Tiffany didn’t say a thing. She just remained silent for she was having her face burning from embarrassment. I knew it! I should’ve not said it to her!

“Hey it’s okay,” the other girl said but she was still laughing a little.

“So that was it? Is that the only reason why her abilities changed?” Tiffany asked, her eyes looked at the two women and they were still playing. “All these long-term capabilities, rest, and even her voice being heard by my dad through phone. Do you think it was all because of that physical contact?”

“I can only guess Tiffany. I told you I am just practicing it. I’m not an expert. But while I look for anwers, you can experiment too.”

“Like for example?”

“Make-out with her,” Sunny said and she laughed out loud again.

“Fuck you.”

The laugh gets louder, “No thanks Tiffany, but kidding aside, you can try that and observe her the next second. Well, if you aren’t passed out yet.” The woman on the other line laughed like a mad woman after saying those things.

“It’s morning and you’re drunk already?”

“Correction. I’m not drunk, just not sleeping yet. I just got out from my shift,” she stopped laughing as she tries to calm herself down.

“Really? Then take a rest. I’m sorry for disturbing you. And Sunny, thanks for your help.”

“My pleasure. I’ll let you know if I learned something. Oh, and Tiffany!”

“Yeah?”

“You wouldn’t get pregnant by a ghost so it’s safe to try.”

“I’m hanging up. Bye!”

Tiffany didn’t wait up for Sunny’s answer as she immediately cut the call. “Crazy.”

“Who’s crazy?”

Tiffany nearly got a heart attack at the sudden presence near her. When she turns around, she saw the reason of her nightmare and burning cheeks looking at her innocently.

“Nothing. Stay here. Don’t go out,” she said coldly and walked out of the room.

Taeyeon shrugged it off and walked closer to the table where they were playing. She looked at the kid who was looking at her without expression.

“What is make-out?” The kid asked.

Taeyeon got her eyes opened wide, “Where did you learn that?!”

“Nothing, just heard somewhere.”

“Don’t mind it. It’s nothing. Let’s just play.”

“Liar.”

“This is my move,” Taeyeon said and ignored the remark from the kid.

Two weeks passed and another hearing happened inside the Seoul Judicial Trial Court. The subpoena that Yuri said has been sent, and now, the last ex-boyfriend of Bae Suzy before she died was sent here for questionings.

Joohyun prepared a lot for this specific time of the hearing. Not only because she had a lot of time reviewing the case but because the lead in her eyes is here to be questioned. But her hardwork didn’t seem to pay off when the man came in with his so called story completed with a tall guy as his witness that he is actually with him when the crime happened.

The last hearing is in two weeks. The judge will give his judgement soon and all of this happened. They needed to step up their game if they want to clean Yoona’s name.

The innocent look on Mr. Lee Minho didn’t help at all. He seems trained with this kind of pressure.

Maybe he’s really innocent? Joohyun thought.

Mr. Lee looked so calm during the hearing, it was the other way around when his so-called witness answered her questions. His jaw tightening didn’t go unnoticed by Joohyun’s hawk-like eyes. If Lee Minho is a pro with this kind of thing, they still have a chance to win by focusing on his witness. His witness that looks a little calm but the nervousness was still there. Next stop, know who Choi Minho really is.

“Will I be jailed for my whole life?” Yoona asked suddenly when they entered the law firm.

Joohyun scolded herself for not seeing that specific story before the hearing. Now, her client — Im Yoona, was losing hope. “No. Don’t think like that. We still have two weeks to prove them wrong about you.”

“But the only suspect that we have has a strong statement that he is out with his friend that time,” the chef said hopelessly. “And that friend said it’s true.”

“Two weeks is still long for new informations Yoona unnie. I’ll do the best that I can to help you. Just don’t lose hope. Please trust me in this. You wouldn’t go to jail,” Joohyun stated with determination to prove her point.

“Okay.”

Joohyun can only look at her client—friend’s remorse.

Hwang Taeyeon (27)

Tiffany continues to search Taeyeon’s real identity. But the results that popped out has an almost indefinite number to start with. She will probably take forever just to see all of this profile named Taeyeon.

If she wanted to know who Taeyeon really is and what happened to her body, she needs a unique keyword to add on her name.

“Hmm… Taeyeon small idiot,” the lawyer typed every word on her keyboard then she pressed enter. “I guess this will cut all those unnecessary Taeyeons on her screen.

“The fuck?” Tiffany widened her eyes at the word that she had typed on the search bar. Her delicate fingers swiftly taps the combination of ctrl + A, and backspace that immediately deleted the words, her eyes roams around her office to see if anyone sees her but it’s all clear. She also make sure to clear all the history on her browser before shutting her computer off. “I need a drink,” she said to no one and left her table to get some reasonable drink in her fridge.

“You love Taeyeon?” A small voice made her choke on the water that she was drinking.

When she turned around, she saw the kid staring at her with her huge round eyes. It takes a lot of her will power not to glare at the kid. She was somehow feeling something weird when she’s talking or even looking at her. “How can you say so?”

“I saw what you were doing earlier,” the kid said in her normal tone.

“Are you saying that you are spying me when I’m at work?” Tiffany asked the kid as she crouched a little to make their face at the same level. This action caught Taeyeon’s attention from the couch.

“Work? I don’t know stalking on others is called work now.”

“I am not stalking kid. I was just searching for a profile to help a friend. That’s all. Do you know that spying on someone’s work is illegal?”

“A crush you mean? Taeyeon whom I love. Hm.”

Tiffany’s face blushed a little but the kid doesn’t seem to mind, “She is not my crush.” She said every word with fire.

“Whatever. If spying is illegal don’t you think that stalking is not?”

“For the nth time I am not stalking!” Tiffany hissed. For the first time in her entire life as a lawyer who is trained in every pressure, she was close on losing her shit. The nerve of this kid!

Taeyeon walks close to them in worry, “What’s happening?”

“I’m just asking for a certain food but Fany unnie doesn’t seem to stalk— I mean locate the number of the delivery hotline.”

“Oh okay,” Taeyeon said as she looks at the lawyer. “Ppani are you okay? Your face is re—”

Inside a restaurant, an average size woman was sitting. Blonde locks, fit body, and dark orbs. She was in a huge looking hoody but her muscular arms can still be visualize through the layer of the said clothing. A cup of coffee latte and cookies and cream frost on top of the red velvet cake were placed on the table.

Minutes passed and the chyme of the restaurant’s door clings. A man with a cap dressed in a leather jacket and ragged pants enters and sat on the chair at the woman’s front.

“You’re late,” the woman said calmly as she takes a sip on her coffee.

“Sorry. I need to make sure no one saw me. Anyways, how long should I stay like this? I want justice.”

“Your justice will come soon. Just do what I say,” the woman looks at him in the eyes. “When the time is right, the cuffs are ready. Just hold on Minho.”

“How long should I wait? Noona it’s been so long,” the man named Minho said. “I need a fix date for this.”

Tiffany is inside her room, pacing around. Her work is done, papers are signed and reviewed, the cases to hold were distributed to her lawyers but she still has a problem. Kim fucking Taeyeon. She feels that her case isn’t moving at all aside from the growing abilities. The sneaky and smart kid isn’t helping at all.

She left the two inside the living room with the television open and some sweets for the kid. Joohyun is still out with Yoona, maybe they’re with Yuri or Bora for the case.

Her clouded mind was cleared when her door opens, Taeyeon.

“Are you okay?” The soul asked.

Tiffany didn’t answer but keep her eyes looking into Taeyeon’s ones. Her mind wanders to Sunny’s advice. Should I do it?

“Hey. I know I’m hot but don’t stare like th-mp!” Taeyeon had her eyes wide open at the sudden kiss but that made her grin like a fool. A heat from deep within her soul started to come up. She feels high.

Oh my gosh… what did I do?! What did I fucking do?! Tiffany almost got her mind shut off with her actions. The stupid grin on Taeyeon’s face wasn’t helping too.

“Do you feel anything changes?” She asked after composing herself. This is an experiment. Yeah, an experiment.

“Changes?” Taeyeon asked as her dreamy eyes and grin widens.

“Yeah. I mean.. uh.. you know? After the.. uhm.. experiment touching of lips?”

“You mean the kiss?” Taeyeon bluntly asked.

Tiffany’s face blushed, “Y-yeah? You can say that. So how do you feel?”

Taeyeon pretends to think and looks at the lawyer upside down, “Hm… First, I felt energized, like double impact when I’m reading a magazine. Your lips is the sweetest Ppani. Second?” Taeyeon smirked, “I feel so high that I wanna do nasty things to you like rip your clothes apart until you are on your birthday suit and make you go crazy while you’re on your knees and gripping your headboard tight as you breathe hard. Third? I wanna eat you u— ouch! Yah! Ouch! Hey stop pinching me! You asked me how I feel!”

“You are a pervert! Fuck you! You crazy ghost! Fuck! You!” Tiffany shouted, her face red from embarrassment and madness. I knew it! It’s not a good idea to do Sunny’s suggestion!

She forcefully sat on their living room couch just a few inches away from the kid who is by the way watching some Sci-fi movie. Her hand reaches for some sweets to calm her mind but after tasting the sugary piece of candy, her mind wanders to Taeyeon’s luscious lips that in her opinion is sweeter. The fuck?

“Who’s going to fuck who?” The kid suddenly say out of nowhere.

“Are you talking to me?” Tiffany stupidly asked and the kid just looked at her with her bitch face as if saying ‘what do you think?’. “Nevermind. You’re still a kid to know that.”

“I’m mature,” the kid said.

“Yeah. Yeah. By the way how’s your day so far?”

“Tiring as fuck,” the kid said with a huff.

“Watch your word kiddo.”

“Sorry m— Miss Hwang.”

Tiffany chuckled at the sudden call of her professional name, “It’s okay. Just don’t do it again. Hey, can’t you really tell me what’s your name?”

The kid shook her head, “Figure that out yourself. I love mind games so it’s no fun if I will tell you.”

“It’s just a name.”

“Yeah. A name that my mother forget. Sad right?”

“It’s not suited for you. I mean this topic. So, I thought you are tired? Don’t you want to rest?” The lawyer asked trying to change the topic. It’s just sad to hear this story.

“Yeah I wanna rest. Good point unnie,” she said as she stands up and sat on Tiffany’s lap before opening her white polo’s button.

“Excuse me but what are you doing?”

“Be quiet. I’m goint to sleep unnie.”

“What? Sleep? You mean on my lap?” Tiffany heard nothing after that. The kid’s head rests just above her chest with her little arms hugging her waist. After a pregnant silence for a minute, the lawyer heard little snores. “You look like an angel when you’re asleep but look like satan’s child when awake kiddo,” she shook her head and chuckled before encircling her arms around the kid and continued watching the sci-fi movie.

“That’s sad. Bora unnie can’t access that AxeG-SCO site. It has some personal verification and a code to decrypt before accessing. There goes our hope,” Yoona was losing every hope in her body. First is the witness, next is this.

“Don’t lose hope. We still have Yuri unnie and my unnie’s help,” Joohyun said to encourage her client.

When they reach the main door, they can hear the television playing. It’s almost dinner time when they went home. Upon opening the main door, Yoona immediately shuts off her eyes again.

“Is Tiffany unnie fond of showing her assets?” Yoona asked as she locked the door, eyes still closed.

Joohyun walks to where her sister is and buttons up her clothes. “I don’t think so. You can open your eyes now,” she told Yoona then lightly shakes her unnie’s body. “Hey, wake up. We brought foods.”

“Where’s the kid?” Tiffany asked, her mind still loading as she looks around to find the little girl.

“Kid? You know what? You should change your clothes first and then we’ll eat. You’re halucinating unnie.” Joohyun pulled her sister up and pats her bum while pushing her to her room.

“Am I?”

“Yeah. And make it fast. I need your help with Yoona unnie’s case.”

“About what in particular?”

“Later. Go change and clean up.”

…

After 30 minutes, Tiffany entered the kitchen and get back inside her room with some foods. Apparently, Taeyeon wanted to eat too which is an answer to Sunny’s theory that their physical contact can really affect the latter’s capabilities. After putting the food inside, she came back to their dining area as they all eat.

When they finished eating, they all sat inside their living room while watching some tv series. Joohyun was with her folders with her sister sitting near her. Yoona was on the floor with her front resting on the bean bag.

“So what type of help are you needing right now?” Tiffany asked when the tv series ends.

“Hm,” Joohyun looks up from her folders and looks at her sister, “I need a reliable investigator to investigate Lee Minho and his life. I need a reliable investigator to crack down every single part of AxeG—SCO.”

“What happened to your investigator?”

“I don’t know, but I have this gut feeling that he was bribed.”

“Okay. Don’t make him stop investigating so the other party, if your gut is right, will not notice. I’ll give your number to my friend.”

“I won’t. What is your friend’s name?”

“You will know soon. Anyways, your sweet potato is in the fridge. I bought them earlier.”

“Really?! Oh my gosh!” Joohyun exclaimed and drops her folders on the couch before running in the kitchen.

Yoona had her eyes wide when she saw her lawyer with that attitude.

“Yoona close your mouth, and don’t worry, she’s still your lawyer,” Tiffany closes the latter’s mouth with her hand and then chuckled afterwards. “Shocked?”

“Y-yeah. Joohyun has a mysterious personality,” Yoona said.

“Agree,” the older lawyer said. “So what happened in the court earlier?” She asked as she fixed her sister’s folders. While doing so, a picture fell down on the floor with its back in view.

“Disaster unnie,” Yoona grunts. “The ex of Suzy is a pro.”

Noticing that there’s an abundant silence afterwards, Yoona looked up at Tiffany only to find her staring intently at the picture. She decided to look at it by moving closer and what welcomes her vision is the picture of her bestfriend.

“She’s pretty isn’t she? She’s like a sister to me unnie. So the bl—”

“Where is she?” Tiffany asked, her eyes not leaving her bestfriend’s picture.

“Excuse me?”

“Where is she, Yoona?”

“I don’t know but I hope she’s up there,” Yoona stated as she looked above. “Her name is Bae Suzy but I call her Suzy or sometimes Baeji from her family name and her last name’s syllable in korean. She’s the one who was murdered at my restaurant. Why?”

“Yoong, tell my sister I’ll be in my room and the investigator will call her fist thing in the morning,” with that, she left Yoona inside the the living room without waiting for her answer. The photo of Suzy on top of the folders.

“I guess I know where Joohyun’s mysteriousness came from.”

Tiffany enters her room with her heart beating like crazy. In this last week, she had encoutered a ghost literally asking for help to reach her family, which she succeeded in doing so. There’s also a guy soul who asked for her help to say let her girlfriend read his last goodbye letter hidden under his bedroom’s bed. The girlfriend even raged at her thinking that she was his other woman but luckily after trashing too much, she stopped when the letter was seen and said thanks.

When she looks around, the kid is playing something from her iPad and Taeyeon is staring at the mirror trying to see her nonexistent reflection.

“Hey, are we going to fuck no—” Taeyeon was cut again.

“Prepare yourself, we’ll be flying to Jeju tomorrow. We’ll be looking for Baeji.“
